4 Nokia PC Composer
Nokia PC Composer allows you to create new ringing tones for your Nokia phone. Once you create a new ringing tone, you can
transfer it to your phone (via IR or DLR-3P cable).
PC Composer also allows you to open Standard MIDI files (type I), edit them, and convert them to ringing tones. You can save your
ringing tones as either .mid (MIDI) or .ott (ringing tone) file formats on your PC’s hard drive. Once saved on your hard drive, you
can also share your new ringing tones via e-mail with friend or family who also use a compatible version of PC Suite.
PC hardware setup
PC Composer “plays” the notes as they are written to the music staff. You can also play back the entire composition. Before you
begin writing, you must select your PC sound card’s MIDI playback device.
1 Click Start, point to Programs, point to Nokia PC Suite, then click Nokia PC Composer.
2 Click Tools, point to Player Device, then click the option for your sound card’s internal MIDI playback device.
Once your MIDI playback device is set, you can hear each note as it is added to the staff or listen to the entire ringing tone (when
you click the Play button).
