Hello all!

I have some success with the sound converter but more failure than success :(

Almost all midi files i convert can be played in the sound converter but when i download them to my Nokia 6100 and tries to play them, it says "File cannot be opened" on the mobile...

I cant figure out what causes this problem as it does not seem to be a problem with channels or max nodes


Hope someone can help me
 
When I had my 7210 I used to get that problem... I think the reason was because the midi file was too long... making it too big to open...

I'm saying this... because if i had a file that wouldn't open... I'd take it into cubase and chop it down to about a minute rather than 3... and it'd work fine and dandy...


Don't know if this helps you or not... but i thought i'd throw my 2 cents in...

I dont think its the length that is the problem because i have played around with it today and it seems that the mobile cant handle more than 8 channels!
 
It cant play more than 6 simoltaneous notes at a time...i think thats the problem...so if u go in and edit the midi you should be fine, i've gotten all mine to work.
 
most nokias support only bout 4 channels to play simultaneously. anyway as one o the guys said above , the problems with the size of the file not even the length. a nokia cant usually play or open a sound file larger than 15-20kb.
 
i know this is a nokia thread but i jus gotta say that a t610 (sonyericsson) has amazin sound output. it can play upto 22 simultaneous notes from my experience-it could be more but i haven tried. its capable o opening an audio file as large as 150kb or even more. i'm sayin all this coz i have a 6610 and a t610
 
yeah i experience that but rarely. an example is this midi that i modified using Sound Converter but no matter how many times i trim it down, it still doesn't play on the phone. can someone please troubleshoot this stuff.

here is my midi file that im talking about

the problem is not with the size or length... most nokias can only play 4 instruments at the same time.... so if it is more than that the phone will:
either-
not open it.
or-
open it but miss out some notes..

u can fix this using a program called Anvil Studio by changing the volume of the instruments, deleting the ones u dont need and try to play only 4 instruments at once by muting all the extra notes...
i edited a lot of tones to use on my site (-Bullet Nokia- if anyone knows about it) and that was how i did them...

some tones will never work on the phone - i had 2 tones like that..
 
Mr chadiwrx,

what did you do to make it play on your phone? i havent downloaded the file yet, but i am hoping it will work on my 3530 as well. looking forward on your immediate response. thanks again man.
 
the problem ain't length, size or how many instruments it contains. I have had many mids that are bigger than 30kb and longer than 3 minutes... and I've also had many mids that contains ten channels (one of them is vibration channel), some of them are ordered.... all have worked just fine.... But I also came up with 2 mids that hadn't worked even if I shortened them, dropped some channels etc. Does anyone know what's the problem?
