Solved Opening a MIDI file results in Sample Rate changing to 44.1k
- Thread starter John Vere
- Start date
Im not sure what I would take a screenshot of?
My interface and Windows and everything I can think of is set to 48.
I don’t see a setting anywhere in the audio set up for choosing a sample rate.
Example in Sonar there’s dialogue in audio preferences where you can choose the sample rate for all new projects. This is what I can’t find.
The steps are:
open S1, from the start screen I choose Open. I browse to the midi file and when it opens there’s everything correct but the Sample rate is 44.1. No big deal to change it but it would be easy to miss this.

No screenshot needed because I was able to reproduce the issue using the steps you gave.
I believe it's by design that songs default to 44.1k when opening MIDI files from the Start page.
As a workaround, try opening a new song that's set to 48k.
Then drag the MIDI file (from Windows Explorer ) into the song.
Using that method doesn't change the song's sample rate.

Thank you once again. Problem is that dragging or import of midi files results in missing data like the tempo map.
This is common with most Daw’s. Some like Waveform will ask after you drop the data if you want to use the tempo map. Studio one doesn’t.
This option is important for working with midi clips as usually you don’t want the tempo when dropping a midi clip into an existing project.
Therefore opening a Midi file is preferred when dealing with a complete song.
What I am doing here is I am transferring Sonar projects so I start with the midi file and then add the audio stems. So tempo map is critical.
I thought I had found the solution as when I tried by creating a new project I found the dialogue that allows you to set the sample rate that I was looking for. It was set to 44.1. I changed it to 48.
I then closed everything and tried opening a midi file again and it was 44.1. Strangely enough I then started a new project and that dialogue was still set to 48. So it is weird that only midi files get the 44.1. I guess that makes this a feature request.

Yes, I’m seeing the same issue where opening old .mid files in Studio One, it defaults the sample rate to 44.1 kHz. What’s worked for me is this:
After that, you’ll have two versions: the original MIDI file and the new Studio One song file with the correct 48.0 kHz sample rate.
- Open the MIDI file in Studio One.
- Save it as a Studio One .song file.
- Then change the sample rate to 48.0 kHz and save it again.
After that, you’ll have two versions: the original MIDI file and the new Studio One song file with the correct 48.0 kHz sample rate.
@BlueOrcaNW you really don’t need to make that many moves . Open the midi file and change the sample rate and apply. Done. Studio one will save the Song as 48.
But yes midi files will seem to always be 44.1. I think it’s just the developers are still stuck in 1997. Just kidding.
