Some Free "Normal" Ringtones!!!

[Guest bobroberts]

As a way of saying thanks to evryone who posts and to make a larger contribution I've posted some free "normal" ring ring type ringtones in MIDI 0 format for the SPV. They are some of the ones I find useful for more professional situations where the Basemant Jaxx Bingo Bango is inappropriate (tho very cool as ringtone...)

Also they have the advantage of being tiny in size at less than 1k each

I've posted six for now, if they are popular i'll do some more

I'll also consider requests but not for tunes as this is my day job and it drives me potty... :shock:

get 'em at

[Guest kingbing]

Uhuh. Very cool. I have dance poly 1 as my ringtone right now. But... being "in the biz", do you know where the best place to get other compatible ringtones from?

unfortunatly, (industry) standard midi type 1 files do not work with the SPV cos...

(prev post)

The SPV does play midi files but only MIDI Format 0

which means that all the data is kept on a single track

from www.midi.org...

"The specification for Standard MIDI Files defines three formats for MIDI

files. MIDI sequencers can generally manage multiple MIDI data streams, or

"tracks". Standard MIDI files using Format 0 store all of the MIDI sequence

data in a single track. Format 1 files store MIDI data as a collection of

tracks. Format 2 files can store several independent patterns. Format 2 is

generally not used by MIDI sequencers for musical applications. Most

sophisticated MIDI sequencers can read either Format 0 or Format 1 Standard

MIDI Files. Format 0 files may be smaller, and thus conserve storage space.

They may also be transferred using slightly less system bandwidth than

Format 1 files. However, Format 1 files may be viewed and edited more

directly, and are therefore generally preferred."

99% of available midi files are in type 1 format tho but can but converted

easilty enough

BUT it's also down to the built in sound set and whilst the new nokias and

samsungs have varitations on the General MIDI sound set the SPV does not.

This means the Noks and Sammys have sounds that include pianos, drums,

guitars, synths etc the SPV has a bleep. just one too. so it can play the

same bleep 3 times on top of each other to create a chord, but its still a

bleep.

You can however create normal ringtones with this bleep and the small file

size means they play really quickly and you phone rings straight away

in summary - there is no point downloading midi files to the phone cos

they'll either not play or sound rubbish unless you want a beep beep beep or

ring ring type ringtone... which you might - i do

(end)

hope this helps clear some things up

Fantastic. This explains why the nifty Star Wars midi 0 file I found sounded rubbish! Thanks bobroberts.
