Hi
Checking earlier versions back as far as VP 4.00, (when the interface was the "Light" style) and then VP 6.00 when it was "Dark" style . midi files would load and convert to .wav files OK. (Interestingly Photostage also loads .mid files bit leaves them as .mid files)
VP Version 8.39 will not list .mid files among the Common media Files for loading and even when forced to to show all files "*" it will not load them.
NCH has been notified as to a possible oversight.
