Open the Recording Librarian application and select Import MIDI 0 from the ~~file~~ menu. ~~You can either navigate to where the midi file is, or drag it into the Open~~ file dialog~~.

Open the Recording Librarian application and select ''Import MIDI 0'' from the ''File'' menu. A file dialog window will appear.

To audition the song, click the Play button. You can change the voice it plays on by clicking the Keyboard ON/Voice Select button. You may have to transpose the selection in the sequencing software to make it sound right on the bells. When the selection sounds the way you want it, click on the Save button and it will be added to the list of recordings as Untitled.

You can either navigate to where the MIDI file is located, or drag the file from another Explorer window into the Open file dialog. The song is imported into the temporary recording buffer (selection 8000) overwriting any selection contained there. Make sure you save the last recording before importing or recording a new one.

After selecting the file, you will be prompted for a transposition. For bell control systems, the largest bell in a carillon or chime, regardless of actual pitch will usually be C below Middle C (MIDI note 48). For five-octave keyboard voices, Middle C will be the third C on the keyboard. You may have to audition and reload the selection without saving until it sounds right on the bells. Then you can remember the number of semitones up or down to use for future selections.
