SoftSynth.com Announces Immediate Availability of its
SAN RAFAEL, CA - May 20, 2003 - SoftSynth.com, a leading
provider of audio software announced immediate availability
of a new Polyphonic Ringtone Engine for mobile devices. The
software converts Standard General MIDI Files to an audio
stream. It can be used to add polyphonic ringtone capability
to mobile phones, or to add musical capabilities to
electronic toys, handheld devices, and other consumer products. The Ringtone Engine supports the Scaleable
Polyphony standard which optimizes playback on devices with
limited resources.
SoftSynth.com also announced that the software has been
licensed to Handspring, Inc. for use in its future mobile
phone products. "We are very pleased with the sound
quality, performance and small footprint of the SP-MIDI
synth software. SoftSynth has a great solution for
low-powered mobile devices.", said Mitch Allen, Director of
Software Engineering for Handspring.
The music is synthesized directly without using bulky audio
samples or wavetables. Instead it uses a variety of
synthesis techniques including FM, AM, and subtractive
synthesis. Each voice has multiple oscillators, a resonant
filter, and multiple envelopes to provide a modern
high-fidelity sound. This approach gives the software a
very low memory footprint compared to sample based
approaches, which can reduce manufacturing costs.
The software was designed for 32-bit embedded processors
such as ARM or MIPS. It uses integer operations for its
signal processing and is written in very portable 'C' code
that has no operating system dependencies. This allows the
ringtone software to be integrated very quickly into the
product software.
