Re: [microsound] Cellphone Rings Questions?

[Alex Young <alex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most phones that can handle polyphonic ringtones let you download
MIDI files through various means:

1. Web or WAP,
2. MMS messages,
3. USB or bluetooth connection to your computer.

I  used to put MIDI files on a webserver, then use my phone to download
them with its own browser (with a Sharp GX10).

With my newest phone (a Sony Ericsson) I just copy MIDI files via
bluetooth off my computer.  Despite this being better than using
WAP/GPRS/MMS  to transfer the files, I miss my Sharp GX10 because
it let you access its FM synthesizer!

The synth on it was quite good considering they never seemed
to market that as a feature.

I don't know about what documentation you'd need to follow really,
do you mean in terms of what kinds of MIDI files phones support?

Cheers,

Alex
