I made a #frutigeraero song inspired by late 2000s #ringtones 😁

From the ashes
spark of purple light
rise, Phoenix, rise

on your scintillating wings.

You can find a whole lot of huge zip files containing wagonloads of #RTTTL #ringtones in the form of text files. There's some baby songs, but the vast majority it's stuff you would have had as ringtone at that time. That's why one of the songs I chose is #moonlightshadow 🪩
That's SO 80s!
Also, I couldn't miss #supermario and #monkeyisland themes.

The funniest part, howewer, is how I made it #play #music. I know I can toggle a pin to produce a square wave with a certain frequency, but I don't know anything about music and correspondence between notes and frequencies, and I surely didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
The recommended way to play music with a #microcontroller is to use a #DAC meant for that, or some sort of polyphonic chip, but I needed a simpler and hackier way.
And i found it in the awesome #esphome documentation: https://esphome.io/components/rtttl.html
ESPHome supports #RTTTL. What's RTTTL? Do you remember painstakingly typing letters on your #Nokia gummy keyboard, copying it from some #90s magazine, to have the last and greatest #ringtones? Yes, that format was called RTTTL, and is supported by ESPHome! What a trip in the past!
I'm deadly serious, just look at the relevant wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_Tone_Text_Transfer_Language

Good choice I think. I have recorded bird calls for my "special" call-back numbers. I had to stop using the #Loon because it freaked everybody out! Suggestion.... The song of the Canyon #Wren makes a pleasing alarm or ringtone. #Birds #Birdsong #Ringtones

Hey all #Apple gurus, I have a situation I need some help with. I'm trying to import ringtones to my iPhone, but when I open up Finder and choose iPhone, I see music, movies, TV shows, and everything but tones. I did some googling and found that you can also import through the music app, but I ran into the same issue there. I tried just copy/pasting the files in the general section for my iPhone which was also a Google suggestion, but that didn't work either. I'm stumped. Am I no longer able to import ringtones? The only other solution I can think of is to disable iCloud music library, but if I do that, I'm afraid I will loose all of my content. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate your help very much. #iPhone #Mac #ringtones #VoiceOver

Estaba buscando los ringtones antiguos que me gustaban mucho de moviles viejos, tuve algunos como Nokia, Samsung, LG, pero curiosamente no encontraba en sitios de descarga la marca Lanix. Descubri que la marca ponia su logo en moviles de otras marcas. Como los Blu y Wiko.

Fui de inmediato al sitio onj3 andrelouis a averiguar el misterio. Y ERA VERDAD! Nos engañaron a todos como la marca "Alaska" de PCs en los 90s. Menuda sorpresa me lleve!

Ahora me he encontrado mis alarmas, ringtones y sonidos de notificaciones favoritos. Los instalare en mi Samsung para la nostalgia.
