Coding Workshop Polyphonic Wizard

The Wizard is a software program for your PC that allows you to add a polyphonic or real music ringtone, picture (wallpaper) or Java Midlets (game) to your phone without any additional cables or sms services.

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'.

Step by Step Example

The following step by step example shows how you would add a ringtone to a Nokia phone using the Polyphonic Wizard.

1. Download the software.
2. Start the Polyphonic Wizard by clicking on the icon on your desktop.
3. Select 'Add a Polyphonic (MIDI) Ringtone' from the first screen. The wizard will ask you to choose a midi file, select the demonstration 'techno.mid' file.
4. You will be asked if you want to edit the midi file. You can trim the file using the easy
to use trim tool, or you can select the advanced midi editor to edit the file.
5. You can of course skip this step completely, and leave the midi file alone!
6. You will then be asked what sort of phone you have. In this case we will select Nokia.
7. There may be two more options at this stage, you can choose to remove percussion tracks, and can enhance the volume of the ringtone.
8. 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.

Do I need to use WAP?

No, but it is usually the best way to get a ringtone to your phone, especially if you do not have cables.

The Polyphonic Wizard will let you use cables, infra red or bluetooth to transfer ringtones as you can simply save the converted midi file to your PC and send it to your phone by any method you have available.

We recommend WAP as it is available on 98% of phones worldwide, and is used by the network providers themselves to deliver ringtones to your handset when you use their 'pay per ringtone' services.

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 if you don't like the result you can always try again!

Supported Phones

The Polyphonic Wizard works with almost all current polyphonic phones.

The table below shows the current set of tested mobile cell phone manufacturers and their compatibility with the software for both polyphonic ringtones and pictures.

If you have a polyphonic phone that is not listed, download the free trial version and select 'Other' for your phone type.

The Polyphonic Wizard is 'smart software' and can usually detect the correct ringtone format for phones from other manufacturers during the ringtone transfer step, so it will probably support your phone even if it is not listed!

Virtually all makes and models of polyphonic handset are compatible with the Polyphonic Wizard.

If your phone is not listed try the trial version anyway and select 'other' for your phone type, the Polyphonic Wizard is able to smart-detect the format most phones use, and will probably work for you even if your phone is not listed.

Support notes

* If your make of phone is listed as model dependant, this means some phones from your manufacturer support the facility, whereas others do not. We recommend you download the free trial to see how the software works with your phone.

*** For the Sanyo PM-8200 cell phone, select 'Other' for the manufacturer, then choose 'midi type 0' for the ringtone file format.

**** The Kyocera Slider SE47 and Slider V5 were added in version 3.2 of the software. Older 'monophonic' phones should use the Ringtone Converter software for Kyocera ringtones. Other handsets from Kyocera should work but have not been tested yet. If you have a different Kyocera model, you can download a free trial version to see if the software works with your phone here.

### Where a model is listed as untested we have included it as we have had reports from customers that it does work with the software when you select 'Other' as the phone type, but where, at the time of writing, we have been unable to test the phone at the Coding Workshop. Please download the free trial to see if the software works with your phone, and select 'Other' as the phone type.

The trial version allows you to add ringtones and pictures to your phone for 7 days. There are no functional limitations.

If you like what you see you can register the software online and unlock it immediately top remove the trial period restriction.
