Magma Error: “Cannot parse event 0xb0”

I’m trying to convert a Phase Shift song with Reaper, so far I’ve been successful in working out the errors that appear in Magma, but I can’t seem to figure this one out. Any ideas?
Take a look at the events list for the track that is causing the error. Do this by viewing the notechart like normal, then clicking view -> mode: events list (mode: named notes should be selected, choose this again to restore the regular view). There shouldn’t be any events listed aside from track name, text events or notes. If there’s anything weird, delete it.
I don’t see any event named “0xb0”. The only thing that I think it could be is “All Notes Off”, would this cause a problem?
Yes, try deleting that and see if it works. I don’t think 0xb0 is the name of the event causing the problem, more likely it is some sort of hexadecimal error code or a hexadecimal representation of the event causing the error. You’d have to ask TrojanNemo about what exactly those characters are a reference to.
0xb0 is the event type, I’ve seen this one but don’t remember what it was called. 0xc0 is a Program Change event. Certain MIDIs will contain these bad events that you can unknowingly paste over to the part track and I guess Phase Shift will just ignore them, but Magma wants them cleaned up. Generally anything in that list other than Track Name, Text Event, Note, or Lyric should be deleted.
It’s a control change event. EOF doesn’t write those, so the chart must have been worked on in a MIDI editor. Fun fact: Power Gig charts used these events to mark something similar to star power sections.
I get this same error, but there are no text events at the place it is saying, and I’ve used the “remove invalid markers” CAT command.
