Compose your own K800i ringtones with MusicDJ
Chris Leonard
The Sony Ericsson K800i's MusicDJ application lets you compose and edit your own melodies to use as ringtones
MusicDJ is a built-in application for budding DJs to compose their own instrumental tracks from a selection of sampled sounds. The resulting tunes can then be used as ringtones or shared with friends.
Each melody is composed of four types of track – Drums, Basses, Chords and Accents. Each track consists of a number of music blocks, which each contain pre-arranged sounds – Intro, Verse, Chorus and Break. Melodies are composed by adding your selection of music block to each track.
To compose a melody:
- From the main Menu screen, select Entertainment (Figure 1) and then MusicDJ (Figure 2) .
- Select a track (one of the four horizontal lines) and then a block (the numbered sections across the top) (Figure 3). Press Insert.
- Scroll down the list of possible sounds, listen to each one in turn, highlight your chosen sound and press Select (Figure 4).
- You can then Copy your selection elsewhere on the track.
- Or you can choose another track/block, and press Insert to choose another sound (Figure 5).
- When you have finished, press More and select Save Melody (Figure 6 & 7).
To set your melody as a ringtone:
- On the Menu screen select Settings (Figure 8).
- On the Sounds & Alerts tab, select Ringtone (Figure 9), then select Ringtones (Figure 10).
- Scroll down to your melody and press Select (Figure 11).
