(keitai-l) Re: mmf file Format

Thank you for taking your time to answer my inquiry. Yes, you're correct it
is the Java application in the J-Phone.

I'm actually looking for a converter from the SMAF/MA-2 to, what I think is
the SMAF/Phrase.  The reason is that I tried to play an .mmf file that
readily plays in the JSCL MediaPlayer with the PhrasePlayer and there seems
to be an error.  I looked at some documentations that Yamaha has provided
and based on my lousy translator, it seems that there is a difference
between the two, I think the header chunk or something.

I'm interested in getting the PhrasePlayer to work because it has a
multi-track playback and I need my application to play a certain background
and simultaneously emit a 'beep' sound everytime a button is pressed.  I
actually had implemented it but I was limited to the SMAF/Phrase that Yamaha
has provided.  That's why I'm looking for a converter/composer so that I can
make my own music.

    So busy..... But by chance are you referring to all the JPhone Java
stuff.  If so (I haven't looked at it but) I think the JSCL Media Player may
play back any kind of SMAF file including those with animation and wav files
while the PhrasePlayer may be limited to SMAF which is midi-like only.

    The phrase played may be even further limited to SMAF-4 voices and I'm
not
sure if it uses the MA1 SMAF-4 format or 4 voices of the MA-2 SMAF-16
format.....  More info is available on Yamaha's site on SMAF related stuff
and there is some docs in English.  I assume it would use MA-2 SMAF-16
though.

    A composer for the latter would be totally useless in this context if I
am
correct.
Since anything you could "compose" could be played back by the former.  The
latter are classes which allow you to dynamically edit SMAF files during
runtime
without a composer and without SMAF knowledge (as far as I know).

    (This is my guess, I haven't looked into didly squat--- but your
question
seems pretty elementary and I am hoping someone else will correct my
answer...)

    Well its back to work for me....
