Types of ring tonesMonophonic
A monophonic ring tone is simply a series of musical notes, one note at a time. Polyphonic
A polyphonic ring tone can consist of several notes at a time. The first polyphonic ring tones used sequenced recording methods such as MIDI. Such recordings specify what synthetic instrument should play a note at a given time, and the actual instrument sound is dependent upon the playback device. Truetone
