2007-08-31 CTU Midi file for Siemens Gigaset SL56 and SL560

Ringtones for the masses. The easy to get but hard to integrate CTU Ringtone from famous television series 24 (Twentyfour) has been finally ported in a “some kind” acceptable midi version for Siemens Gigaset SL56 / SL560. Thanks to the Developer(s) of Freeware Midi Editor Anvilstudio for Windows I was finally able to raise the Volume of a Basic MIDI-File available at the one 24 CTU Ringtone site and the other 24 CTU Ringtone (and other Fanstuff) site.

If translated to english that would be donkey and dog but you should not take it word by word.
