  • Page 21: Midi Audio Guidelines

    MIDI Audio Guidelines The following are suggested guidelines to maximize sound quality while reducing the overall file size of a MIDI Ring Tone file for use with the Motorola E398 handset. Tip 1: Use MIDI’s running status feature In the MIDI standard, a key-on or a key-off event will use, at most, three bytes each.

    Sound Multifunction Transducer Frequency Response - In Application 1000 10000 Frequency, Hz However, the transducer will also reproduce vibration signals at its vibration resonant frequency of 157Hz. The nearest synthesized note is D#1 (i.e. the first D# below Middle C). For long duration continuous signals at the vibration resonant frequency, the maximum amplitude should be restricted to 15dB below maximum to avoid distortion.

    Sound Tempo The tempo of the base track must be specified at a time 0 of the base track file. Tempo is specified in microseconds per quarter note in a standard MIDI “Set Tempo” meta-event. If the tempo is not set in the MIDI file, or is not set at time 0, the tempo will default to 500,000 microseconds per quarter note (120 beats per minute).
