In the case shown in the top image, if there was a folder icon to expand it, to show all of the tracks inside of the MIDI file - if it was Type 1 - even trying to drag in a single track would still open the full file as a new song.If you don't see any preview controls as shown in the next image below, importing the file will create a new song. For example, drag and drop it to the main toolbar and it will open as a new song. If you do want to open this type of file as a new song instead of importing it's tracks into an existing song, drag and drop it anywhere except the arranger view.In the case above you can expand the midi file folder icon to see all of the tracks inside of the MIDI file and also only drag in individual tracks if you want.Note: The preview controls will only appear if there is an instrument track in the song. If the file will import directly into an existing song you will see preview controls there at the bottom of the browser, which also allows previewing it's tracks.
If you are viewing a MIDI file from the browser, you can always tell in advance if the file is over or under that threshold by looking at the bottom of the browser when the file is selected. Studio One uses a threshold for MIDI files, perhaps around 50KB in size, where if a MIDI file is over that threshold it will not import in to an existing song, but instead will create a new song. Why does Studio One sometimes create a new song when I drag in a MIDI file from the browser? This article addresses some of the more commonly asked questions related to MIDI in Studio One.
