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.
