Can I take a MIDI file from my PC and load it into the Treo 270 somehow and then edit it with HoHo and make it a ringtone?

Thanks,
Sean

You can use Simply Install - Pilot Install to upload *.mid from your PC to Treo.

You can then use HoHo's MIDI Manager and MIDI Editor plug-ins to manage and edit these files.

One other note that I discovered. The Palm needs MIDI files saved as TYPE 0. A lot of editors save as type 1 and don't give you a choice. Also MIDI sounds sound best if you use only the first main insturment track. You can combine a bunch of insturments on one track but this usually sounds awful.

Tools to do this work include:
GNMIDFMT (MIDI Type Coverter) - www.gnmidi.com
and your favorite midi editor.....

If I use Pilot install, which path should I use to store the mid files? Also can I store those mid files into memory card?

"Simply install" the MIDI files. They will be automatically moved to the System MIDI Sounds database.
However, they will be useless for the system and for HoHo if saved on a memory card.

Then how to add MIDI file to Library or RingTone group?

Horace

And this is where RNS:: HoHo comes into play:

1) Use Pilot Install to upload *.mid files to System MIDI Sounds.
2) Run HoHo.
3) Open HoHo's MIDI Manager.
4) Select the uploaded MIDI.
5) Use the "Copy To..." command to copy the ringtone to another database (Library or Ring Tones).
