> Polyphonic sound quality !
Bookmark topic
I just happened to see the Nokia 3650 and YUCK ! the sound was really dirrrty as compared to my T300 . i transferred my tones onto it and heard and it was sounding really slick . Now wat i wanted to know whether all sony ericsson phones with polyphonic tones sound like the T300 ? or does it sound like the Nokia's ? I also sent both nokia and sony ericsson an email and asked them the no of instruments both can play, it was 12 instruments for both 3650 and T300 , so why does the Nokia sound bad ?

The quality varies between SE phones.
The P800 has REALLY poor polyphonics as standard. So much so it was laughable. Luckily someone has recently released a much higher quality set of MIDI samples for the phone.
The T610s polyphonics are the best I've heard on any phone. Crispy and clear. You can't appreciate polyphonics until you hear a T610.

Yeah I agree.....the T610's polys are much crisper and, more importantly, louder than other SE phones. Much louder than my T300...so you can actually hear them when you are out and about.
They feel like they have more force behind them.

Demon,
Can you tell us (pls pm me) from where you can get those quality tones for P800 you mentioned! I think all lot of us don't know or aware of the sources here.
Thanks.

It's all in the instrument samples. As you probably know, unlike MP3 or WAV files where the sound is digitized, MIDI only stores the value of the note and how it should be played, while the playback device takes care of how the instruments must sound. So MP3/WAV takes megabytes, while a comparable MIDI file only takes a few hundred K. But this also means MIDI music will only sound "correct" if it's played back on the same device that it was recorded on!
MIDI sounds so good on the SE phones because the samples are high quality, and they sound almost exactly the same as on Roland synthesizers. Since many musicians use Roland, the tunes automatically sound good on SE phones. Nokia 3650/7650's samplse are licensed from Beatnik and sound considrably different from the Roland, which throws the tunes off. Notice that this also means if a tune is written specifically for Nokia, then it will be off if played on an SE phone. (And no, you can't tell just by looking at the MIDI file for which device it was optimized for unless the author put in comments.)
On many MIDI devices it's possible to replace the built-in samples with higher quality or custom samples. As mentioned above this is possible with the P800.
Sorry for the long post.
