Even though you can still do that through a file manager, it is nice to have it in the same interface, which makes it quicker to access and also more accessible and discoverable to non-'power users'. Also when importing a midi file from the file manager, there is a dialog box that pops up asking whether to replace the project or add to it, which gets in the way. Additionally, imported MIDI files go into their own new track, but in the clips tab you can quickly drag a clip onto whatever existing track you want, so it's just all around faster\r\n\r\nThe biggest thing that makes it awesome though is being able to quickly export any part to an .mpt file straight from the sequencer, and have it appear in the clip list, a user can quickly build a library of parts in LOS that they like to re-use in different songs, and it's quite slick. Another benefit is that the MIDI clips retain their original color when imported into a new project (which is critical for me when sequencing MIDI controlled lighting in LOS)\r\n\r\nMany commercial DAWs and sequencers (like energyXT, I think Ableton too) have this feature, it would be a shame to lose the feature for good!"}}
