Nok2Mot
Cell Phone Ring Tone Converter for RTTTL/Nokring-to-Motorola My Tones

Nok2Mot is a program I wrote that converts RTTTL key tone expressions into Motorola keypad entry format used in some of Motorola's newer phones such as the V66. Using this program is simple:

  1. Copy and paste any RTTTL formatted key tone (such as another web site, click here for links).
  2. Paste the entire string into the text area box below. Typically the name of the tone is included in the string but if it is missing, please also enter the name in the box provided.
  3. Click CONVERT.
  4. The resulting page will contain the tone name and the resulting keystrokes to enter in your Motorola phone. You may either enter these directly, or copy the text from the web page and paste it into a document of your choosing.
  5. PLEASE READ THE WARNING BELOW, especially if you try this program and get an error!

NOTE: Nok2Mot makes every possible attempt to reconstruct the tone faithfully, however there are some inherent disparities in the 2 formats. Please Read:

  1. RTTTL supports 4 octaves -- Motorola only 3. Nok2Mot will scale the tone up or down as long as it only contains a range of any 3 octaves. If more than 3 octaves are present in the tone, Nok2Mot will compress the extremes of the notes into a supported range and a warning message alerting you that this has occurred will be displayed.
  2. RTTTL supports 6 standard notes (whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, & thirty second) and dotted note feature for a total of 12 possible note durations -- Motorola only supports 3 (whole, half, & quarter). Nok2Mot will scale the note durations as long as it only contains a range of any 3 notes. If more than 3 note durations are present in the tone, Nok2Mot will compress the extremes of the notes into a supported range and a warning message alerting you that this has occurred will be displayed.
  3. RTTTL supports a tempo feature referred to as "beats per minute" in the spec. Motorola does not have any such feature so the beats per minute data is ignored.
  4. Use of Nok2Mot is free for anyone, anytime, and without limits or restrictions (subject to change in the future). The only thing you must know is that I will save copies of all ring tunes entered into a database and may or may not make them available online at some point in the future. If you do not agree with this then DO NOT USE Nok2Mot.
  5. Nok2Mot is still in beta testing, so PLEASE email me with any feedback at all, especially related to how faithful the tone sounds.

Ring Tune Name:

   (optional - only if omitted in tune string, maximum of 10 characters)
RTTTL / Nokring String:
  
   

VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Many of you using this free program have generated errors. Some of the errors are because some of you are inputting data strings not in the RTTTL format, others are using the RTTTL format but with missing songnames and/or missing default values (highlighted in green in the example). Fixes are in the works for the latter issue but at this point only strict support for RTTTL will work. In other words, you must have a songname and default settings as part of the string. An example is below:

bugsbunny:d=8,o=7,b=200:4a,g,2a,p,4e,d,2e,p,4a,g,2a,g,4e,d,4e,p,d,4b6,4d,g,4a,g,g,e,g,4f#,p,a,4b,a,g,4f#,4e,2a

If your ringtone is in the correct format, add the missing information delimited with colons to the string as a temporary work around.
