For speed I have created a midi file using Anvil Studio. The file is a 3 track midi composition using Steel Drums and a Grand Piano. To download this file to your pc click on the link Demo Midi you may have to right click with your mouse and select the save as option (file size 3.74 KB (3,830 bytes) 4kb on disk). You may want to open this file up in Anvil Studio, here you will be able to see the musical notes and the specified instruments. You can change the instruments by double clicking. Here you will be given a list of 128 instruments to choose from. If you do choose a different instrument, please keep in mind that not all polyphonic mobiles support all 128 of these. WML - Wireless Markup Language In order to add a polyphonic ringtone file to your mobile, you will need to create the following wml code. If you are familiar with html you will have no problems following the code. If you have never used html, do not panic as it is very simple to follow. The basic function of the wml file is to point your mobile to your midi creation. WML file <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"> <wml> <card title="Polyphonic Test"> <p><a href="demo_midi.mid">Demo Midi File</a></p> </card> </wml> Simply cut and paste the above lines of code into a text editor (notepad, wordpad etc..) The first two lines are important, if they are omitted, a file format unknown error will be displayed. Card title, This is simply the name of your wap page. In the above example the name of the midi file is in quotes "demo_midi.mid" then followed by a brief description. The description will be the link you will see on your mobile prior to downloading. If you have created more than one midi file and you want both to be available to your mobile, simply duplicate the line "<p><a href="demo_midi.mid">Demo Midi File</a></p>" and overtype the file name and description. The above code will form the basis of your first wap page. Cut and paste the above now into your text editor, make sure that there are no blank lines before the first two lines of wml. Save this file to your hard disk with a name of waptest.wml Hosting your *.wml files Before you continue with this section, I am assuming that you have some free web space to host your files on. Most ISP's will give you free web space. If not do not panic. Simply go to http://www.google.com (my favourite search Engine) and type in "Free Web Space", there are literally hundreds of free web space offers to choose from. To upload your ‘waptest.wml’ file to your web space, you will require some ftp software (File Transfer Protocol). This software simply transfers your file from your local hard drive to another hard drive residing within your ISPs organisation. Most download sites and internet magazines (cover discs) offer free ftp software. I use a piece of software called ‘WS_FTP LE for Windows 95/98/NT/XP. You can download this software directly from http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html or from most download sites. Another excellent program for transferring files is 'Right ftp', this is a free down load from http://www.right-soft.com/rightftp Alternatively, if you are familiar with ftp you can upload from a DOS window. When uploading your files you must upload the wml files in ASCII and the *.mid file must be uploaded in BINARY. And now for the big test, point your mobile phone to the URL of your free web space. Once connected, you should see your entry for the above midi tone. If you click this link, your phone will download this midi file as a polyphonic ringtone. If you would like to see what this looks like, point your mobile to the following URL :-(Do not include the Quotes) http:// www.johnreed.co.uk/waptest.wml Alternatively, you could paste the url into the wap browser on this site (remember not to include the http://) |
