The Scalable Polyphony MIDI (SP-MIDI)

The Scalable Polyphony MIDI (SP-MIDI) specification was co-authored by Nokia Corporation and Beatnik Inc. under the umbrella of the MIDI Manufacturers' Association (MMA) and its Japanese counterpart (AMEI.) Since its ratification by those societies it has been adopted by the global wireless standards body 3GPP as the MIDI standard for polyphonic ring tones and multimedia messaging. The first of these polyphonic phones will roll out in the second half of 2002.

SP-MIDI is a variation on the General MIDI format that was designed to allow composers the ability to deliver a single audio file that can playback across a wide range of MIDI-based mobile devices, each with different polyphonic limitations, and yet have the audio still sound appealing." ... more
