    What if I dont have an internet? Is it possible to buy some cord and connect phone to pc and then transfer the midi file? Or like call some toll free number 1800 and it downloads ringtone for free?

    well if you have a internet on ur phone! dont know if this will work but its worth a shot you can upload ringtones and wallpapers! you will get a text message then follow whatever you have to do! Hidden Content


    or sign up with Hidden Content and upload ur tones and wallpapers in the upload shack and then go here on your phone's internet: Hidden Content then sign in, then go to upload shack and download ur tones/wallpapers to ur phone!


    for ur phone whoopie, the wallpaper size is 130x130, and ur tones have to be midi or mmf! i would put the tones in midi-0 format just to be safe!

    any other help just email me: Hidden Content or aim me: xxgangstamex69xx

    or they send it to their phone like a text message

    ^^^ you can mix midi? like eq, compress and add effect on them? i didnt know that.... since midi is just information... i would assume that phones can read the "effects" used on the mid? how do you program that anyways?

    Also, it explains why some MIDIs here are a hit on this forum, and others are not... it all depends on how your particular phone sounds. A tone you make could sound amazing on your phone, but terrible on another, just from the lack of support that Vid speaks of as well as other slight differences in data interpretation, so it's hard to please everybody! Good luck with your composing, and we look forward to seeing your work here! Hidden Content

    Well, unfortunately I'm not familiar with Cubase SX, but it may be saving your MIDI as a type 1 or a type 0 that might be the problem... try checking on that. Also, I can't say I'm too experienced with loading tones on different phones, but I think we've all heard 50 Cent's "In Da Club" enough different times that I'm pretty sure that most phones will sound slightly different instrument-wise. But, like I said, I can't be positive since I don't test a single tone on more than my own phone.

    so lets say i got ahold of a bunch of ringtones from the net and load it up on different phones... will the instruments sound different on each one??? also i finished a couple of sequences and saved it as a midi but when i try and play it on my media player for playback, all the instruments becomes the generic piano... any idea why it does that??? i use cubase sx btw...

    Maybe not exactly but it can come out very close if you want that...
    You mentioned you like to compose... just ringtones or in general?
