You’ll see lots of information about polyphonic and monophonice ringtones, but what are they?

Polyphonic ringers. A fancy name, but what does it mean? Monophonic ringers. Same deal.

A polyphonic ring tone (a poly tone) can create multiple tones or musical notes at the same time. It’s a reproduction or creation of the sound, rather than a recording of it, however it produces an excellent reproduction and hence a great ringer for your mobile phone.

And of course it depends on the quality of your cell phone. Different phones have different capacities to reproduce or simulate notes simultaneously. Some up to 72 at the same time.

So what are monophonic ringers? Well as polyphonic ringers can reproduce a number of notes at the same time, monophonic ones only reproduce one.

Is there more? How about real music ring tones. What are they? Real music ringers can reproduce the actual music itself. Poly tones simulate the music by a combination of sounds, but real music ringers actually reproduce the music itself. And that way it can reproduce vocals for instance.

And there’s even more. Truetones. What are they? True tones (sometimes calle realtone, mastertone, or superphonic ringtone) are ring tones that are made from high quality formats like mmp3. These are high quality ring tones and are becoming more and more popular as our insatiable appetite for hot new and high quality ringers increases. More on Polyphonic Ring Tones.
