Mp3? These young whippersnappers and their modern shenanigans. 8 bit MIDI is all the sound you’ll ever need on your cellphone!
Polyphonic Ringtones? Ha! We had to type in some strange numbers to get beeps to change their tune!
I tried so hard to figure that shit out but never managed to actually make anything good (I have zero musical talent), but we had this one friend in the group who had, so they’d always have one of our phones, composing our ringtones lol… I feel old 😂
I used to have the Monkey Island intro midi as a ringtone. It would start real quiet giving me time to either go somewhere I can talk or if I just wouldn’t notice it would become loud enough to notice later.
I actually made some cash in 8th grade making ringtones. All i did is looking up what buttons to press on the 3210 on the internet. The weird part was that pretty much strangers would just give me their phone over night because i was too lazy to print it out and do it in school. Rumours were around that i had some weird ass set-up at home like deadmau5 to turn axel f into a midi. I was just using altavista and pressed buttons.
