The brief of the new sound-musical modules technology

The main advantages of our new one-time-programmable modules are :
The possibility to produce the modules with your custom sound or music or voice for such small quantity as you wish. And the price will be at least 2-3 times lower than usual re-recordable modules you can see on market. Also our modules have higher sound quality and considerably more convenient recording and copying than modules with embedded microphone.

For example you may buy 1000pcs of our modules with 1000 different melodies. Just as mass production pre-recorded modules required buying at least some thousands pcs to record you custom sound or melody. And the second feature of our modules is very short lead time. It's no need to wait many weeks until the manufacturer supply your necessary melody. You may keep in your warehouse 10-20-50K blank modules, and just it will need you may very quickly record your sound into the modules. To program some thousands of our modules will takes only a couple of working days.

All models of our modules have very loud and quality sound. Maximum duration depends on your specific sound quality requirements. For standard modules it's usually from 10 seconds (very high quality) to 20 seconds (optimum quality) and up to 40 seconds (satisfactory quality). If you need to record the sound file bigger duration we can produce custom modules for you. The maximum duration may be from 3 seconds to 20 minutes. If you need to program the midi-file then the duration is practically unlimited. And it will be from numbers to dozens minutes, it depends on your exact melody. The sound quality for midi-files don't depend on duration.

The module for greeting card and advertising printing are supplied with self-adhesive paper base for fast and convenient stick. You must only remove the protection cover and place the module in suitable site. It's very quick and easy. The speaker is situated separately from the module PCB and has its own self-adhesive ring. It increase application flexibility as it allow to place the speaker into any specific place in any different items. The speaker placement is limited the wires length only. For customer's wishes the modules may be supplied with another design, for example with push button activation (for souvenirs), with light sensor (for packaging), into plastic housing (for stuffed toys).

You can buy our sound-musical modules both into recorded or blank state. Buying blank modules you economize on programming cost and accelerate new sounds recording. In this case you must buy our special equipment for sound-musical modules writing and copying.

Our equipment permits you very fast and easy to prepare the necessary quantity of sound-musical chips with your own audio. You will be able to write into the sound-musical module memory any music, voice, sounds, all of you need ! For this you must execute only three simple steps:
1. To prepare the audio file in the any sound editor on your PC.
2. With the help of our special device, romter, to listen how your audio file will playback by the real module.
