RMF is Beatnik’s proprietary format for playing MIDI music simultaneously with digitally recorded audio samples. This format allows composers to combine the benefits of MIDI—high fidelity and small file size—with the customized sound of recorded audio while creating a file that can be used for polyphonic ringtones, interactive game audio and user alert tones.

Beatnik’s Rich Music Format is a precursor to the eXtensible Music Format, which in 2001 was ratified by the MIDI Manufacturer’s Association (MMA) as an open audio standard for mobile devices. RMF contains a lightweight 40-bit encryption scheme and includes metadata fields where composers and distributors can include valuable information regarding copyrights, composers, licensing details, and other unique content identification.
