binary data (information) of how a melody is played
and when this data reaches a synthesizer, the syn-
thesizer will translate the binary data to music,
when connected to an amplifier with speakers so
that the sound becomes audible.
The development from the iMelody format to the
MIDI format means a revolution to the sound qual-
ity. The MIDI files are small, and perfect for mobile
devices, which have limited storage capacity. MIDI
is a specification for a communications protocol
principally used to control electronic musical
instruments. MIDI is today a well known standard
used by musicians, composers and arrangers.
A fun, personalization, music application – Music DJ.
The Music DJ lets the user select pre-recorded
musical loops to compose a melody in much the
same way as modern artists create music through
more advanced systems. Music DJ enables the
user to create and edit a polyphonic ring signal
using only “blocks” containing ready-mixed
sequenced loops played by different instruments.
The blocks are kept in banks or libraries. This appli-
cation makes it possible for even semi-profession-
als to customize their mobile phones and to test
new melodies while on the move.
Composing
You can compose and edit melodies to use as ring
signals. A melody consists of four tracks - Drums,
Basses, Chords and Accents. A track contains a
number of music blocks. The blocks consist of pre-
arranged sounds with different characteristics. The
blocks are grouped into Intro, Verse, Chorus, and
Break, depending on where in the melody they fit
in. You compose a melody by adding music blocks
to the tracks.
