How do i convert this ringtone into rtttl file for Arcade?

Any ideas ?

Sorry, I think it is not actually a ringtone as yet. I am now seeing that it must be converted into a ringtone from the MP3 and then into .rtttl ? Any suggestions ?

Please help, we are making progress converting HumpBack whale songs into ringtones for import into Microsoft Arcade program via rtttl extension. But we are not there yet. we are writing a ā€œmigration adventure storyā€ in Arcade and want to add Whale music.
I have downloaded the HB Whale song and found a conversion app. , for sheet music. Now we need to convert that into an .rtttl file so we can import it as a ringtone into the Arcade story. Please help us do this. Thank you.

I’ve been unable to successfully convert the score into the RTTTL format without it sounding like carp. But I was able to get the .midi file:

(This file will expire in 30 days so download it quick)
I did this by converting the PDF file you provided into a .mscz file which can be edited and exported to .midi in the Musescore editor. (which is free) Usually the service doesn’t work for me but I guess what you are doing makes the website happy. Here’s the link to the PDF to .mscz site: (You will need an account, which is also free)

Thank you @UnsignedArduino for responding to this. I will follow on you work. I do not know how to use a midi file in Arcade, if that was the goal, maybe John Edgar Park knows how as I have seen him work with music or attempt it. There must be a way to get any ā€˜music’ into an .rtttl format because so many have been done and posted to the Arduino repository of .rttttl music; just need to work on it more to figure it out. Thanks again !

@UnsignedArduino , OK, it’s possible that I did not make myself clear while asking the question to start the thread. What I am wanting to do is to take a recorded Humpback Whale vocalization (song) and convert it into a ringtone file which I think is .rttttl and then import that via the ringtone extension into the MakeCode Arcade environment so that it can be played back on Arcade hardware: Meowbit. I did not mean for that to be a pleasant human musical tune. Not a piano piece. Rather, the vocalizations projected from one HBW to another. Now, I did the first part by converting the audio recording of a HBW from Youtube into sheetmusic .pdf. I’d like to hear your ā€œcarpā€ playback if you would post it here, that may be what I wanted.

On this subject, I have tried to install this extension in both MakeCode Arcade and Microbit. It shows up at the bottom of the list of tools under ā€œmusicā€ and will not activate in Arcade but might in Microbit:

Microbit: the editor does not cry when I click on the extension here under music so it might work: https://makecode.microbit.org/_WyxDrA0kAReJ

I used http://midi.mathewvp.com/midi2RTTL.php for this.

I think we’re making progress @UnsignedArduino . The pitch is wrong or maybe too ā€˜tinnie’, but I think there is a quality correlation to the sound in terms of relationship of notes and duration, depending on tempo. Compare the Arcade code to the YouTube sounds:

This is at least the first progress, Thanks for your help ! !
