MIDI to step sequencer conversion - Incosistent

[Todd Groemling]

I don't understand why the following happens... too frequently: I have the latest version of Cakewalk (27.01.0.098), which is from January 2021, but this issue has been occurring for years: I right click on a MIDI clip, but the option to convert it to a Step Sequencer clip is grayed out. I will bounce the clip, I will apply Trim to the clip, then see if I get the option to convert the clip. None of that helps. I then copy the MIDI clip into a new project and I am given the option to converted the clip to a step sequencer clip. This has happened in dozens of project files that I have, so it's hard me to believe all these project files are somehow or partially corrupted.

If anything else other than the MIDI clip is in your selection, the menu item will be greyed out.

Maybe you've got Track Envelopes selected too?

Try unchecking these two before selecting your clip:

I will try what you suggest, Mark, the next time this issue arises. Thank you.
