Midi file desperately wanted

[ChocoDough]

I've looked through A LOT of different versions of Mission Impossible in MIDI format, and can't find the one I am looking for.

The version I want is only on the UK midi sites, and I can't download it off of any of them since I am in the US. I had no qualms about buying it if I could. Anyway, here is a link I made to the MP3 copy of the file they use, obviously so people can't rip it.

Mission Impossible MIDI

That has to be the best version I have heard in MIDI format. If anyone has it, or can get it, PLEASE let me know.

So you made this MP3 out of a midi file, but you are looking for this midi file? I am confused! Exactly what are you looking for? What are you trying to do with it? What does the MP3 have to do with this?

[ChocoDough]

hehe sorry for the confusion.

On all the UK pay sites that offer polyphonic MIDIs, they let you sample the music beforehand, but obviously they won't let you play the MIDI cause you could just grab it outta your browser cache without paying. So what they do is record the MIDI in MP3 format so you can't steal the song.

So the MP3 in the link I posted is the MIDI song in MP3 format, and I want that version in MIDI format for my GU87.

If you do a google search for "mission impossible midi 50013" os something of that nature, then you will see the song on the pay sites, but being in the USA I can't purchase it from them.

Do you care if it is midi or do you just want this in your Gx8x mobile?

[ChocoDough]

Well I want it to use as my ringer, so I guess anyway is ok, as long as the file isn't too big. MIDI format would be the best considering the filesize would be small.

[lost_rebel]

True, but I can convert from MP3 to MFM format and you can use it is a ringer!

[ChocoDough]

hey that would be great. What util would ya use to convert it?

I can try, but if you can do it pretty quick then be my guest.

[lost_rebel]

I use acoustica mp3 to wav convertor although I believe you can use winamp as well. Then I use sound recorder in Windoze to convert to the correct wav format, then I use the wave to MFM convertor to convert to MFM format and voilla, all done. But you will need to resize the ringtone down, but I am sure that you do not need a 40sec ringtone anyway.

[ChocoDough]

Would it be to much to ask if you could do that for me?

Seems like a lot of work, and since you seem to have it down pat...<hint>

And ringers are only 30 secs long, so anything after that is a waste.

[lost_rebel]

Me and my big mouth. I figured this stuff out when I was on a business trip and had nothing better to do in my hotel room. It does take some time as you normally can only get about 14s of audio for an MFM ring tone. So you need to clip the wav file, which I use the sound recorder to do, accordingly. But some may prefer to clip it all from the end or may choose a center segment. I can not promise to have time to work on it right now but I can try later in the week

[ChocoDough]

LOL remember, loose lips sink ships. :P

I'll give it a crack this evening after work. Is there anything else I should know? Like what sample rate should it be, 8 or 16 bit....etc.

[lost_rebel]

8KHz, 16 bit, mono. The wave to MFM convertor tells you on the front panel.
It is not a perfect solution but better than nothing
