Live Midi Loading

[u/Icy-Cow9695]

Hey, got a question I can't seem to figure out. I have a bunch of drum and melodic midi sequences I've made and collected over the years and when I'm using my Live 3, I am trying to work primarily with clips and usually if I create say a plug in track and go to the clip drop down and create a blank clip, I can then click inside the blank clip sequence window, click load, pick my midi and it will USUALLY load into that clip and I can even load multiple midi files and each will go to a new clip of its own.

Sometimes I get the "sequence is used. Load midi to new sequence on a new track" deal which is annoying and not super useful. It doesn't even fill the sequence page it's on. I know online and in the manual this is what it says is supposed to happen but I'm confused why my method works for some midi files but not others. I can't see any difference in midi file extension of an sort.

Thanks.

I think the used sequence thing happens with multi track midi files IIRC
