Now to convert midi/poly ringtones to wm 2003 format

[Grim_Evil]

There is a utility called PSMPlayer (http://www.zensay.com/qtek/tools/psmp380e.zip) which can save a regular MIDI file as a Ringtone. This saved MIDI format is compatible with WM2003.

how to do it:

1) open psmplayer

2) file> open > locate a midi file on your system.

3) play it to see if it sounds ok

4) click the RED circle icon

5) give the poly ring tone a name

6) tick the box "ring tone mode"

7) click ok, this will ask for a place to save the file to. Then click save


8) close program

9) copy the file you just made to your windows/rings dir.

there you go, a working poly ringtone

PS thanks to sheran_g for the link to the proggy:)

but somehow the files don't sound good? like the speaker breaks up or something?

[ARZLEB]

This seems like a shortcoming in the Qtek/XDA. There are only 6 fixed instruments on it. When creating your ringtone, you need to figure out what the instruments are so that you get the best sounding tone. Also, there seems to be no volume regulation so that's why it sounds really bad (as if your speaker is going to blow :wink: )

In my personal opinion, WM2003 midi ringtones have a loooong way to evolve yet.

I use 2 programs from acoustica.com pull out about a 10 second piece of a midi file and convert it to a wma file and then stick that in the rings folder. It's about 12k in size and sounds great! Good luck! - Jim

may one ask what the two programs are you use from accoustica?

I cant find any that say about midi..

cheers,
