I have a Nokia 6600 ( through the SEAP Series 60 competition ) for testing. I have a game I have developed on it but the midi does not play. The midi plays on all emulators and on the Nokia 3650.

Does anyone know of any polyphonic midi issues for the 6600?

a code snippet:

is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/menu.mid");
String ctype = "audio/midi";
mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer(is, ctype);
mPlayer.realize();
mPlayer.setLoopCount(-1); //loop indefinitely
mPlayer.start();


"menu.mid" is only 2.37KB. any ideas?

m2, but no idea on this failure

Do you have a vibra channel there?
If yes, please try removing it and see what happens.

I'm not doing anything with the vibra. I even turned it off in my Profile on the phone.

Currently i am able to get the 6600 to play WAV sounds. Just not the midi. very frustrating since my MIDlet has a soundtrack.

Well, you haven't answered my message.

The reason is that if the SP-MIDI file contains some notes on a vibra channel, the phone may not recognize it.

You could send me the file for I could optimize it using our software and I'll send it back to you.

Well, Do I need to use SP-MIDI instead of MIDI ??
Is it supporting MIDI Type 0 and MIDI type 1 as well ?

May I ask one more thing, what is the Vibra channel ? I am completely newbie to SP-MIDI.

Thanks a lot. You are really kind to give these helpful advice.

(P.S, I'm not a native English speaker, so please excuse my poor in English)

Well, SP-MIDI is also a MIDI file with some extra info, so it doesn't make too much difference. I'm not sure about MIDI 0 / 1, but you can give a try to both of these formats.

Vibra channel (well, it's not a 100% correct definition, as there is no specific Vibra channel allocated, it's just a phrasing used in our company for better understanding of this "technical" stuff) is a MIDI channel on which percussion instruments are played. Nokia 3300 and 6600 have certain troubles with playing Vibra instrument on this channel, so it is a good idea to try several configurations.

Once again, if you feel the need to try - ask us (www.unwiredtec.com), plus my e-mail is shown up the thread. We specialize in this sort of things, and helping others is one of our business tasks. It's not an ad, though, as this offer is free of charge.
