Unlike Nokia phones, most Motorola phones dont give you the option to specify a tempo, so we have to adjust the note durations in a ringtone to alter the tempo. Most tones play at around 120-160bpm which is acceptable, however some play faster or slower and this is where an adjustment takes place. For example if the tempo of a tone was 240bpm, the converter would automatically alter a 1/4 duration note at this tempo to a 1/8 duration note so it played better (faster) on the Motorola.
The biggest problem the earlier Motorola composers had was the limit of only 3 note durations, this affects the v60 / 66 and 120 phones. Although most tones are acceptable, some will never convert due to this limitation, and the quarter note which is the shortest available on these handsets is still quite a long note, so generally tones are slow.
The T191 improved on this with 8 note durations, however Motorola made the entry of the tones far more difficult. Ive not seen a V70 yet so I dont know what they have done with its composer, somewhere inbetween would be good!
The bottom line is that we believe we have the best translation available for the phone, whichever model.
One of the next improvements to the software will be the ability to adjust the tempo of the rtttl prior to conversion, so if you are finding a tone a little fast or slow, tweaking the RTTTL to play faster or slower will be a simple button click away.
So i'm confused as to how to sms myself a ringtone through icq (Motorola v60g cingular). I've used the motorola composer, converted that txt file using the motorola sms ringtone generator and tried to just paste the results into an sms .. but it always arrives as a text message -- is this normal? Am I supposed to do somethign with it once it arrives as a text message, or is it supposed to arrive as a ringtone? Thanks.
As far as im aware (unless Motorola have updated the firmware) the v60 doesnt accept ringtones via SMS, the only way you can get them into the phone is to key them in
Not using our converter software, other software may exist that does the job, but I have seen 'Motorola' ringtones expressed in a number of ways as there is no fixed standard like RTTTL or Nokia composer formats.
If you send us a few examples of the tones you have Ill see if we can add it to the import filter if you like.
its cool. i just wanted the keypresses to make it easier to enter it into my phone in case something happend. well anyways if anyone wants here is all my ringtones for the 60c. they all work perfect, not slow or anything, also they are perfect loops, so when your phone is ringing, there is no cut in the tones. enjoy!

The T300 doesnt have a composer built in so you have to use the export facility in the software to save the file in 'Samsung Mymelody' format, then send this to the phone using Samsungs Mymelody software.
If you jump over to the Samsung forum and do a search there they have details of how to do this.
grr....I'm so frustrated with the lack of quickness of tempo in the motorola v60 composer! So many of their crappy built in tones make use of eighth and sixteenth notes...anyone know a way around having a quarter note as your quickest note???
No, the v60 just doesnt do notes faster that 1/4 im afraid.
We have tweaked converter for the v60 tones to give better renditions of very fast tones (+250bpm), but its just better to stick to slower ringtones with the v60 / 66 handsets as these play fine and there are still 1000's of slow tones around, its just a shame with the phone being so nice, and having so many ringtone 'slots' that the composer is poor.
What will be interesting is to see what the V70 does. It looks in spec to be the same as the V60, but I hope Motorola have taken the composer from the V50 or T191 and put that in as both can do better note speeds.
The Ringtone Converter is now up to release 3.4.9, the only real change at the moment for Motorola users is the inclusion of the V50 handset which runs another totally different set of keys for entering tones! Its probably the best composer they have built in yet as its easy to use, but they appear to have a problem with the v50 when you play a 'B' after a 'C', if you have a handset try it, it makes an interesting noise (it isnt a 'B'!) Might just be the handset we have, hopefully it is!
If you have a VERY old copy you may need a new key, just email us at support@codingworkshop.com and we will send one over to you if thats the case, but your current key will probably work for you.
