I have a lot of songs and I hate to pay for anything.

Is there something out there that will let me import a MP3, click a wizard, and export a .midi file that will play on my T610?

Thanks in advance

There is no RELIABLE program out there. The results of such programs would be off-key and what not. Just search for the midi files. Tons of them out there, all free.

I get your point but someone out there is posting all these free tones using software to make them. I would just love to know how they are doing it.

Any advice at all is appreciated.

Thanks

People create midi files by playing the music out on their own keyboards with midi software, and post them on the net for all the share.

It's almost impossible to get a decent ringtone with that software, you better search for a midi file of the song you like, don't loose your time...

There is this software out there called Amazing Midi.

it analyses the imput sound and a tone sound and sees where abouts in the input sound it plays... it then extracts those notes with the nelp of the tone file and then exports it as a midi.

i've doen this with a drum and bass song and it matched up very well except one or two notes of the background notes were missing.

As someone said before thers no reliable way but this Amazign midi does a pretty good job.

one thing though.. you have to convert the tone and input wave sounds to 22khz at 16bit.

ok.. word of warnign though. not all songs come out good with this.. the ones i normally did were ones with 2 notes max runnign in the bg and i use one of htose notes as a tone file.

now what you do it you get your favourite song as an mp3 wma or wav, it doesnt matter. coz what you are gonna do is you are gonan cut the certain part of the song you want and then save it as 22khz at 16bit mono.

next you have to cut a sample of the beat. like when you have thebeat going like
doot doot woot doot doot waa woot waa doot woot waa doot.

and you just want the ringtone to have the "waa" part of the track you have to cut it. and then save it as its own file. Again savign it at 22khz 16bit mono

then go into the software and put that single sample as teh tone file. and the part of the song you want made into a ring tone as the input file. afterthat you hit transcribe.

it should come otu with something close to it. if it sounds like "WTF THIS SOUNDS SHIT" go into the trannscribe settigns and mess around with the minimum analysis and maximum analysis along with everythign else.


hope that helps ^_^

oh.. and a way to edit the way the notes in the midi sound, duration of play, and the pitch can be edited with WIDI Recognition System pretty quickly.
