I don't know about downloadable ringtones...how does this help record ringtones? Are they somehow recorded directly on the phone? |
|
|
I thought you downloaded files to the phone. If that is so, where does the file get created in this scheme? |
|
|
With the right software on the phone, I can maybe see this configuration enabling the phone as a MIDI instrument. |
|

//I thought you downloaded files to the phone// I don't think you have to.
My phone has a simple composer on it, and when you view the files via a bluetooth adaptor, the file you've created is a midi file... But I guess the adaptor would have storeage in it too. |

Doesn't the Beatnik system use midi? My phone can play any MP3 as a ringtone - I've got a half gigabyte of tracks to chose from. |

|
'spose it could convert MIDI sounds to WAV/MP3...

"I guess the adaptor would have storeage in it too." I'll go along with that. I think it might need a few other things as well. Unless the phone can download a MIDI bitstream in to it's editor, you'll need to have some external processor somewhere to construct the file before it gets to the phone. |

It looks like what needs to happen (from the perspective of someone who's never downloaded a ringtone or owned a bluetooth enabled phone or MIDI capable instrument) is that the device has to capture the MIDI stream, create (and name) a file with the MIDI content (or convert to MP3 somehow) and act as a host to support the file download. |

Maybe a Bluetooth equipped PDA with a MIDI/USB adapter? |

[Ian]That's right, rigtones... The noyze made by 5h1ps rigging should be blootuthed onto peeples fones. |

Rigtones: downloadable tunes for the horns of big trucks. |

Seriously this is a great idea for musicians! How come its not baked? (Searched again, sure enough, ready for baking since 2001 [link], still, it deserves a star. [+] |

Ian Tindale has rigged up his own ringtones, if I remember rightly. |
