Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer is not working for me

[Ben Shelden 0]

I have a clips in a midi track for drums. When I right-click on the clip and choose "Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer", the step sequencer clip is empty. I'm looking for suggestions for something else I might try. Please help

I just tried it here and it worked for me.

Is the MIDI clip locked in any way?

Thank you for trying it out. The clip is not locked in any way. I was thinking that it might be because the maximum number of steps for a beat in the step sequencer is 16 and I had some 1/32 notes in the midi clip, but I quantized the clip to 1/16ths and it did not help. What happens to me is that a step sequencer clip is created but it is totally empty; the notes that were in the midi clip totally disappear

I've discovered that if I use "Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer" on a midi clip that involves any time interval smaller than 1/16th, the step sequence created will be empty. I also discovered that if I back out of it and try to convert another midi clip, from this point on, all newly created step sequences from mid clips in the track will be empty.

Did a quick test, and could not reproduce that; a sequence of 32nd notes converted fine for me. 16 steps per quarter-note 'beat' is 64ths. That's not an option for conversion from MIDI (strangely), but you can create an SS clip with 64ths from scratch.

Can you share a copy of the MIDI?

I was about to send you a copy of the midi but I tried it again and it worked. Thank you for your time.
