Simple non-polyphonic midi ringtones???

[tesla]

Searching for ringtones results in huge threads. Anyone know of a source for free, small, simple, midi ringtones that don't have drums, keyboards, fake guitar, fake singer? I like just having the simple melody so it isn't so distracting and still sounds like a phone rather than a mp3 player.

Thanks!

You can find all kinds of free midi files on the internet. Download a free Midi editor and shorten the tune and/or remove excess instruments.

Try finding .imy ringtones for you phone. I have some and i think that is what you are looking for.

the title of this thread is contradictive...

how can u have non-polyphonic midi ringtones?

.imy are non-polyphonic.. it's the format the T68 uses.. does the T610 support i-melody? does it support old skool e-melody?

[ESTO]

Sure you can. One can create a midi "song" using a single instrument, thus it is monophonic in reality, though the midi file type is classified as polyphonic.

It will have a small size, but sounds better than an .imy

A piano tune can be quite pleasing and yet small (5K or less).

Yeah, I was tired and didn't know what to call it, non-polyphonic is all I could come up with :-) I found a free midi sequencer at www.jazzware.com. Works okay but I can't get the length of the song reduced down to 10 bars so it will loop the melody I want. It has a 50 bar minimum song length it looks like. Can't figure out how to change the patch/instrument used for a given channel.
Also it's a little hard to use to as far as trying to copy and paste. An undo feature would be a life-saver :-)

The effect works good though as ESTO said, simple melody without all the fake guitars/singing/etc... 3KB


.IMY's work fine, I've tried a few. Interesting they can control the display power and vibration from the IMY files (each one I tried behaved differently).

Thanks for the tips, this phone rocks!

ah.. okok

yes i suppose that works as well

yes, the beauty of .imy files is how the screen and lights flash in accordance with the melody.. good job E///

I'm after real ringtones as well, not badly composed TOP30 hits that all sound like "Modern Talking" Cherry, cherry lady.... or high pitched Pac-man sound effects.

Whether they are MIDI, pornophonich or whatever doesn't really matter.

Right now I have resorted to "Old Phone" in my T616, which is the only one I can stand.

Try this if you want a "regular phone" ring.

Shweet-replying on my ipaq thru Bluetooth to T616 in my pocket :-)

If you look at the T61O ringtone list in the "*****because****" thread, there are some links to sites that have ringtones from a nokia phone. I'll post a link later if you don't find them.

Back to the PC, that one post from Ipaq-T610-GPRS took 150KB of my 1MB. I forgot to use the wap.howardforums.com link.

I thought I saw .imy files are I-MelodY?


Thanks for the regular phone ringtone. If anyone else has simple midi ringtones please post them here I guess unless there is another thread for that. By simple I prefer that the files are one or maybe two instruments, no drums, no fake singing, etc... Prefer just "catchy" melodies that are short. I think sounds like from star trek lcars, communicaters, or other kinds of short beeps are ok too.

Thanks!

Yeah, they are just i-Melodies, but I guess the T616 still uses the default instrutment to play it.

I use http://www.anvilstudio.com/ ... and it's quite easy to use. You should be able to handle it if you are reasonably proficient with PC software, and do all the things you mentioned above.

AnvilStudio works great! I recommend everyone chop all those annoying cheesy midi files down to just the melody :-)
