I found the FORMAT_TONE specification somewhat hard to understand at first but finally managed to figure it out. In any case it still is rather hard to actually get what you want into your code. I'm not sure whether or not there already is a tool for this but anyways i wrote a small application that lets you input a text string describing what you want played, for example:

L16 O1 C D E F G A B P P O2 C+ D+

Lx : set length to 1/x tones
Ox : set octave to x
P : pause

the program will output the data either as a binary resource file, hex string or (byte)0x??, (byte)0x?? format

The program doesnt have any "preview/prelisten" functionality though.

If this would be of interest to anyone, drop a line.

Looks like your program is gaining a big audience Sensei. Maybe you can post a link where people can download it...

Wow. With all this fuss over something this simple I just had to give this program a cool name. It's now called the "MIDlet DeeJay". Fancy eh? Well actually it's not just the window topic that was changed... I even changed the filename as well! Woohoo >:)

Ehm, seriously. I've been really encouraged by alot of people to improve the program and the latest version can do alot more than what the one most of you have can. It now utilizes all of the functionality described in the smart messaging ringing tone specification, including patterns, looping, volume changing etc. I also added a preview button just the other day so now you don't have to copy-paste, compile and emulate every time you want to hear if what you've typed in there is actually music or just a bunch of beeps and blirps (not that a doubt your musical skills). =)

And since a download link was requested I decided to put my 1337 webdesigning skillz to the test and threw together a page for the danged thing.

I really hope this application will be of help to yall.

Hmm.. does "Save to binary resource" work already?
I try to use it and get empty files.

[SenseiTG]

You are right, there was a problem.
It is now fixed, please download the latest version.

HI can you explore on my issue and mail to me.....i hope you can give me some solution.......

My name is Raj from india. I am working for a mobile technology compnay and right now my client requirement is so strange that through j2me application he wants me to play MIDI file in all the series 40 ans series 60 phones.

I developed Juke box application for Nokia 3650 and T610 Sony ericsson.....using MMAPI. but if i need to play MIDI file the only way is MMAPI. MMAPI is not supported in all the nokia phones...it is supported onnly in 3650...do you have any other solution where i can meet the client requirements....i tried exploring the mmapi....and tried to include the mmapi and also the sun supported MMAPI files in my application....but when i am trying to compile using JBuilder suite i am getting preverifier exception as Cant access native methods......

Please let me know any bacward solution.....

Thanks

WOW.
this tool is great.

[SenseiTG]

There are no instruments, it's just tones, beeps, sinuswaves. It is not midi =)
