RingMaster for Nokia 9200 Series Communicator

Instructions

Editing tunes:

Use the menu/hotkeys to insert/delete notes

To change the note at the cursor position use cursor up/down. Ctrl-cursor up/down moves the selected note by 6 semitones, so two Ctrl-cursor key presses will move the note one octave. Note range supported by the 9210 is A4 to B7

To change the duration of a note or pause use the number keys 1 to 6 as follows:

  1. Whole note (semibreve)

  2. 1/2 note (minim)

  3. 1/4 note (crotchet)

  4. 1/8th note (quaver)

  5. 1/16th note (semiquaver)

  6. 1/32nd note (demisemiquaver)

Use the '.' key to change a note or pause from normal to . or .. or ...

Press 'Enter' key to edit an existing tempo, style or volume change (v1.06 onwards)

Using edited ring tones on the 9210:

To use your new ring tones on the 9210 save them to eg '\Documents\Tones\'. Then use the "Profiles" option in Control Panel and edit the profile you are using, eg 'General'. Select the "Ringing tone" line in the 'Profiles settings' dialog and tap the 'Change' button. Browse to the folder you saved the ring tone in and select it

Sending created ring tones via SMS to other Nokia phones:

In v1.11F and above (not yet released) use the "File - Send - As short message" menu

In versions prior to 1.11F save the ring tone. Then use "File manager" to find the saved tone and press Enter to open it (in the built in ring tone player). Then use "File - Send - As short message"

Transpose Changes the key of the tune by -12 to +12 semitones 
Play Plays the tune, or stops play if already playing
Play section Plays the tune from or to the cursor position

*RTTTL format used by RingMaster has the addition of repeat functionality. In the tune section of the RTTTL you can use R<n> and RE to specify loops, where <n> is 1 to 15, and specifies the start of the section to be looped. RE specifies the end of the section to loop. For example:

2B,R2,D6,E6,RE,C6

will play the following notes:

2B,D6,E6,D6,E6,D6,E6,C6. The section between R2 and RE repeats two extra times (ie plays 3 times in total)

To import an existing RTTTL or RTX tune you need to copy/paste the text into this dialog. If you use the web browser on the 9210 to visit a site with ring tones, you can then copy/paste the ring tone text from the web browser into RingMaster

Ring tones can be exported as MIDI files using "File->Save ringtone->Export as MIDI"
