# Midi Import
## About Midi
Midi file is the original method used to import the note sequences for RhythmGameStarter, so in order to create your own note sequence for your songs with midi, you have to create a midi file using other software, possibly some DAW as FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton.
### Midi Parsing
RhythmGameStarter will parse your midi using `DryWetMidi` , an open-source midi library.
## Importing Midi
### For Version 0.5.0 +
1\. Create a blank SongItem for your song!
2\. Press "Import notes" and choose MIDI, then locate your midi file in your system
3\. (Optional) If the bpm is not automatically detected or incorrect! please fill in the bpm manually, and check 'Use Current Bpm' then import the midi again
4\. (p.s.) If the imported sequence is like 1 bar behind or has some start delay, please make sure in your DAW that the midi is starting from the first bar. (In most cases I heard is from logic pro x, which the midi region start from the second bar or so on which caused the imported sequence also contains the offset)
{% hint style="info" %}
Be aware that if your midi file contains **a ton of notes**, it may cause performance issues with the Sequencer Editor, it's better to edit the sequence back in your DAW/ Midi Editor.
