Default Midi Drag and Drop Reaper -> SD3 Not Working

I have an issue where the Reaper Ctrl Alt Drag and Drop function for a midi item from Reaper into Superior Drummer 3 midi editor just creates a blank midi item in SD3.

It works when I use Ctrl Alt Drag and Drop into a File Explorer folder and then drag it in Superior Drummer 3.

Does anyone have any idea why the straight Ctrl Alt Drag and Drop would not work straight into Superior Drummer 3 midi editor?

I think that midi items in the timeline are just pointers to the actual midi item. I have tried to do the same thing with SD3 and have failed. The only thing that worked was finding the midi file (mine is in the project folder but I don’t remember if that’s the default location) and dragging that in.

You can access your folders from within Reaper.

I can't recall for certain, but I'm pretty sure that, by default, Reaper will not create individual MIDI files (.MID) but stores all of the MIDI data as part of the project file.
There is a setting in Prefs>Media>MIDI that tells Reaper to store MIDI data as a .MID file.

Also, you need to set this preference BEFORE creating a new MIDI item.
