Note: Up until Live 9, SMF1 formatted files appear as a folder in Live's browser, which can be opened to import only some of its tracks if necessary. If this file is imported into Live, the MIDI data will appear in different tracks. The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks/channels. If this file is imported into Live, all MIDI data will appear in one track. All MIDI data is stored in one track only, separated exclusively by the MIDI channel. This information is stored in its header chunk only and can be revealed by opening the file with a hex editor. The format of a MIDI file is initially defined by the device or software the file is created with. While MIDI files may have the same file extensions (*.mid or *.smf), from the outside, it's not possible to tell which format a specific MIDI file is actually using. 
Live exports MIDI files in the SMF0 format only, with the extension *.mid. Live can import standard MIDI files in the three main formats ( SMF0, SMF1 and SMF2) with either *.mid or *.smf file extensions.

*** NOTE: Karaoke tracks come in two main forms
So, since such a large percentage of MIDI users download Karaoke songs in the form of MIDI files, I thought it could be useful to talk about some karaoke websites.Īccording to Wikipedia, Karaoke “is a form of interactive entertainment or video game in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (a music video) using a microphone and public address system.” This makes MIDI a perfect file platform for the job. Being focused on MIDI files, I haven’t really spent too much time researching this vein, but as it turns out, karaoke MIDI has a huge following. One of the questions I get asked frequently is “Do you have any karaoke tracks?”.
