MIDI help needed

I'm pretty sure it's not a picture message. Most likely an email that your phone shows as an SMS in your messages with an attachment. But anyway, if your razor is one of those with bluetooth, you can just use the generic object push service to send a file from your comp or another phone or w/e.

Well the way its been working with mobile17 is they send a picture message, which contains a sound file (picture messages can send sounds also) and then you save the sound to your phone and voila.

I want to do something similar to this, but still keep it free and easy (everything ive found so far charges money or asks to buy the software)
Mobile Phone Tools also costs money.



I can manually put the songs on my phone if someone knows of any free MP3 to MIDI conversion software (none of the free trial stuff, they limit the size and length)

For putting files onto (and getting them from) my Razr, I use a USB cable with a miniature end (purloined from an old digicam) and P2Kman

Free, and not that hard to work with.
 
And the Razr will play MP3 ringtones, FYI. I use goldwave to cut down to 64Kbps mono and I clip it down to a part of the song and it comes out great. 😀
 
You cannot convert an MP3 to a MIDI file because one is an actual waveform and the other is an instruction set for hardware to play music.

Converting MIDI to MP3 is possible by recording the music synthesizer output to disk and compressing to MP3 format.
 
what exactly are you looking for, because if you just google it, there a elevently billion places with huge databases of free midi soundtracks. I suppose I'm a little spoiled with my nokia with bluetooth, ir, and MMC running on symbian.

It would be some incredible analysis software that could rip midis from mp3.. maybe 20 years down the road? A lot like speech to text.. only imagine its singing, not just speech.

If I can play it, I can sequence it hehe. 🙂 I know someone that's a genius in the field but seems to be more interested in really strange avante garde stuff. Come to think of it, I am too. :laugh:

I was just wondering this. With lyrics especially...I could imagine a music only mp3 possibly being converted effectively to MIDI, but with lyrics :/

Well it can be done but no GM synth will be able to play the sequence like that. Worse if it recognizes the lyrics as a track with mixed or percussion (CH10) data you have really, really weird stuff coming out of your monitors like a bunch of chimps drunk off their ass playing perc! :laugh:

 
🙂 don't know how far MIDI can go today...I stopped being a musician (budding really) with the sale of my Martin D-28 about 8 years ago...my brother still has his Kurzweil (sp?) and going strong, another friend from my teens 20 years ago has his original Moog and a new version.

Still I can see ripping out the vocals and pushing it to a midi file...but with vocals that's a whole new midi.

 
To make an MP3 a MIDI, go to Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab > Go to where it says "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck the box > Click OK. Then find the MP3 you want to change to MIDI, its name should be songname.mp3. Change the .MP3 extension to .MID and viola! You got yourself a spanking new MIDI!

This worked 100% perfectly for me. I also put the songs on my phone by said method. I have no idea what you are talking about vshah.

EDIT: I have the RAZR also.

Yes it will, it'll very effectively crash your midi playback program 😉

Are you guys kidding me? You have to be retarded or something because mine works perfectly by said method.

The hardware differences (well for the PC playback that 98% of the internet community would use) creates a major barrier which makes those (non musicians) completely dismiss the format.

For example take this midi file here.. Sounds fairly boring using the simple grand piano voice.

Now if I take the same sequence and play it on the Synclavier and record it what I hear is much different than the midi file and actually sounds like real music. example

Fun stuff either way. 🙂

More than likely the program is not looking at the filename extension but still reading the file header as an mp3, regardless of your rename.
