First, try removing the preferences file “Dent du Midi.plist” in the Library -> Preferences folder under your home directory. Start Dent du Midi and make sure the “Pass through program change events” option is off, then try the process again. If you still are having issues, send me one or two files that are not working. I cannot make any promises to be able to convert every file, but I will take a look and see what I can do. • Can you export MIDI data from GarageBand to a Standard MIDI file? Not easily that I can see. Dent du Midi is a one-way ticket into GarageBand. The extraction of data created in GarageBand does not appear to be an easy task. • Can you convert MOD files, too? MOD files contain both waveform data and sequence (note on/off, parametric) data. It may be possible to directly convert these in Dent du Midi, but I have no plans to support this. I would suggest that you look for a way to convert MOD files to MIDI files, then use Dent du Midi to get the data into GarageBand.
