Hi @Miki I believe your question relates to this thread which is an increasingly popular topic [Importing MIDI into Scaler 3 while keeping rhythm/timing of the chords - #12 by Tristan](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/importing-midi-into-scaler-3-while-keeping-rhythm-timing-of-the-chords/23919/12)

Currently importing a MIDI file into Scaler 3 treats it as a detection source, whereby detected chords appear on the main track, and detected scales are listed. The result is the same whether it is a single or multitrack MIDI file. As you mention, detection is being greatly expanded upon in a coming update.
