About the Coding Workshop Polyphonic Wizard Click
here for a interactive flash demo showing you exactly
how the software works! | The
Polyphonic Wizard is a software program for your
Windows PC
that allows you to add a MP3 or polyphonic ringtone, picture (wallpaper)
or Java Midlet (game) to your phone without any
additional cables or sms services. Using the knowledge we have acquired from the
Ringtone
Converter, the Polyphonic Wizard has been designed from the ground up to be easy and fun to use by anyone with a pc and a cellular phone. All
you need is your PC, your phone and the Polyphonic
Wizard. You
can then add new ringtones to your phone without
'paying per ringtone'. The
Polyphonic Wizard works with 98% of all cell phones
available worldwide! |

The best way to see how the
Wizard works is to try the trial version, its free and
allows you to download short ringtones to your phone to see
exactly how the software works.
Step by
Step Example
As an example, if you
wanted to download a new ringtone to a Samsung mobile cell
phone you would proceed as follows...
- If you have not done so
already, you need to download
the free trial version of the software.
- Start the Polyphonic
Wizard by clicking on the icon on your desktop.
- Select 'Add a Ringtone'
from the first screen. The wizard will then ask you
to choose a midi file,
select the demonstration 'techno.mid' file.
- You will then base asked
if you want to edit the midi file. You can trim the
file using the easy
to use trim tool (screenshots),
or you can select the advanced midi editor to edit the
file.
You can of course skip this step completely, and leave the
midi file alone!
- You will then be asked
what sort of phone you have. In this case we will
select Samsung.
There may be two more options at this stage, you can
choose to remove percussion tracks, and can enhance the
volume of the ringtone.
- The Wizard will then do
its stuff, trim and convert the midi file as needed for
your phone, and make it available to your phone
using your internet connection. You can then follow
the instructions in the software to download the ringtone
to your phone using your phones internet, or wap
browser.
How do the Polyphonic Wizard and Ringtone Converter differ? The original Ringtone Converter was designed to be used with 'standard' phones, and we believe for this purpose it still has no real equal. The Ringtone Converter can convert RTTTL (Ring Tone Text Transfer Language), MIDI, Nokia key press sequences, Motorola 'on screen' format and Nokia Composer ring tones so they work on almost any make or model of phone, standard or polyphonic and now also contains all the tools you need to add polyphonic ringtones to your phone such as midi editors, format converters and wap tools. However, whilst the Ringtone Converter was designed from the start to be used with standard phones, and it also features a full set of very powerful polyphonic tools, we identified a need for a second piece of software for our customers that was as easy to use for polyphonic phones as the original was for standard phones. The Polyphonic Wizard was born, and complements the Ringtone Converter perfectly. If you simply want to add ringtones,
pictures and Java games to your polyphonic phone using a step by step guide (wizard), use the Polyphonic Wizard If however you have an older 'standard' phone, or want to use some of the more advanced midi editing functions available for polyphonic tools, then the Ringtone Converter is for you. Quality Ringtones Whatever the capability of your phone, with the Polyphonic Wizard you do not need to have any musical or technical knowledge, the software takes care of all the details for you. The software will convert the midi file you select to the highest quality ringtone possible for your phone, and of course as you no longer have to pay per ringtone, if you dont like the result you can always try again! Supported Phones Virtually all makes and models of polyphonic handset are compatible with the Polyphonic Wizard. We are adding support for new phones to the software all the time, for a current list of supported mobile phones please check our supported phones page. If your phone is not listed try the demo version anyway and select 'other' for your phone type, the Polyphonic Wizard is able to detect the format your phone will use with most phones so will probably work for you. What about modern songs and copyright ? Whilst most modern pop songs are available in midi format, you should be aware that they may be subject to copyright restrictions. The Polyphonic Wizard is a tool which will allow you to add these files to your phone, but doing so may breach the copyright restrictions imposed by their author, if in doubt check first. Whats the difference between a Ringtone and a Melody ? Nothing at all, its just a different name for the same thing! We have started a separate web page on the Ringtone Converter website to discuss the different names ringtones are given, click here to take a look! Do you have trouble hearing your phone ring ? Don't worry, many people do, especially with polyphonic handsets ! The Polyphonic Wizard has a specific feature built in to make sure an midi files you use are volume enhanced for mobile cell phones. If you try to add a midi file that has not been volume enhanced, the Wizard will ask you if you want to enhance the midi, or leave it as it. The choice is yours. What about pictures - can I add those ? It depends on your phone, the Polyphonic Wizard will allow you to add images and pictures to most makes and models, the best thing to do is try the demo - it costs nothing to give it a go! |
