Convert MIDI to IMY

Understanding MIDI and IMY file formats

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface, and connectors. It allows a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to connect and communicate with each other. MIDI files contain information about music notes, timing, and control signals, but not actual audio data.

IMY (iMelody) is a file format used for storing monophonic ringtones. It was commonly used in older mobile phones. IMY files are simple text files that contain musical notes and timing information, making them suitable for devices with limited processing power.
