Full Version: Mp3 To Polyphonic?
I know this is a silly question, can you convert MP3 ringtones into polyphonic tones? Iam asking this question because you can do so many things this days with software.
Very short answer: NO
The answer you will get sometimes: Yes, there are software to do this.
My reply to this: Yes there are - but it sound absolutely awfull - it is impossible for any software to convert analog sound based on recorded wavelengths into reckognizable midi. MP3 is real sound (in a compressed form) - Midi is a description of notes, notations, instruments etc. each instrument has its own channel and a synthesizer translates the information into sound. Software to translate real sound into midi needs to "listen" to the original music and discover each instrument that is used to play the song in which keynotes etc. and then translate that into a complete notesheet for the "midiorchestra" the synthesizer to play. This simply cannot be done. You will never get a polyphonic midi that sounds like the real music it was converted from.
You can try it out for yourself - theres a number of software that can be found searching google - some will let you download a trialversion
Heres one for example

I must say that I agree with spawn regarding how bad the "converters" sound...
Even thou I must say that never is a long time... even for an ent (LOTR ROTK)

How about converting AMR to MIDI format.
Is that Possible?
