Hi all
I have a 6820 with which I use the Sound Converter software to import MIDI's
by IR, which mostly works fine.
However, some MIDI files refuse to play when actually in the phone, it gives
an error msg 'Cannot Open File'. These same problematic MIDI files, when
transferred straight to a Motorola phone, work perfectly.
Is there some system command within the MIDI which Nokia doesn't like? If
so, you'd think the Sound Converter would pick them out. I have also tried
MIDIscale but get the same issue.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks
D

Re: MIDI to Tone problems
Same problem on 7250 - I've posted some infoe to help folks out and
sent Nokia and Oxygen a request for help.
I think the problem is something to do with SP-Midi being different
from normal Midi. I even used Nokia's PC Suite to convert my midi
files to polyphonic. played it in PC SUite and saved it there. All
worked fine but then had to use Oxygen to transfer and although it got
to the phone I had exactly ythe same problem as you did. I'll post an
answer if I hear from Nokia or Oxygen. Crap PC Suite if it converst to
something that won't work !!!

Re: MIDI to Tone problems
Here's a good one -
I sent the information to Oxygen as I have the same error as you.
Guess what ....
They said
Maybe the files are incompatible with the phone
Great Help Oxygen. I think I knew that !

Re: MIDI to Tone problems
D'oh! Brilliant and really helpful. I'm still trying to identify a common
thread - i.e. is it a different MIDI format, or number of tracks/channels,
or GM/XG Midi but I really don't know enough about it. Needs a MIDI expert
probably. My query's in a at Nokia so I'll wait to hear from them (maybe!)

Re: MIDI to Tone problems
Nokia have been similarly helpful, bless them. They said that I can use the
Nokia Sound converter to convert MIDI tracks into SP MIDI to upload to the
phone. Really? Well I never! They seem to have completely missed the
point that this is what I've been bloody well trying to do, and the sodding
phone won't play the tracks! I've now tested the converted SP MIDIs on 2
Motorolas and a Sony Ericsson K700 and they all work perfectly. It's just
Nokia.
I await further news from them.
