GU87 low sounding ringers

Ok here is my take on this subject after playing around with MIDI files and stuff for the phone.

First, the phone does have the ability to play ringers loud, but something must be messed up in the firmware. Case in point, go listen to the first fixed ringer, keep listening and you will hear it get louder and louder with each ring. Also ringers 8 and 18 are MIDIs and get louder and louder as they play also.

So why is it that when you put a MIDI of your choice on there they are so darn low!? I've tried many different midid editors and there is no way that I can find to raise thje general volume for the MIDI. Sure you can raise each channel, but most are already at the highest and are still slow.

Also the sound bank they use for the MIDIs leaves much to be desired. Yes it is much better than the Motorola T720, but still needs much improvement. I have a few midis I think sound nice on my computer, like Sweet home Alabama and Layla (original fast version), but of course when you put them on the phone they sound pretty crappy. The only Midi I've found that doesn't sound that bad is a certain version of the theme to Mission Impossible. (Yes I finally found the version I wanted)

I figure I might email Panasonic about this, but it seems that when anyone does email them, they get very lame emails in return. It doesn't seem like Panasonic has any desire to so some serious work on the firmware.

Here's my current ringer. It's Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, not the whole song thought. It starts towards the end, just before that nice guitar work. I modified it using Cakewalk, changed instruments, track volumes and anything I could find to increase its volume. It sounds good, I can hear it most anywhere, even in the car when I have my radio loud (I almost never turn the radio on anyway)

Now, if someone can tell me how to get ringers in my GD55 without having to key it in i'll be as happy as my blue lobster

@GD87 Master

I'll attach the Mission Impossible midi when I get home from work today.

There are quite a few versions of MI around. The one I like the best is from the TV show and not the movie. Took me a long time to find it.
