RTTTL ringtones with Rhythmic Vibra

The original RTTTL specification

RTTTL Format Specifications

RTTTL (RingTone Text Transfer Language) is the primary format used to distribute 
ringtones for Nokia phones. An RTTTL file is a text file, containing the 
ringtone name, a control section and a section containing a comma separated 
sequence of ring tone commands. White space must be ignored by any reader 
application. 

Example: 
Simpsons:d=4,o=5,b=160:32p,c.6,e6,f#6,8a6,g.6,e6,c6,8a,8f#,8f#,8f#,2g

This file describes a ringtone whose name is 'Simpsons'. The control section 
sets the beats per minute at 160, the default note length as 4, and the default 
scale as Octave 5. 
<RTX file> := <name> ":" [<control section>] ":" <tone-commands>

	<name> := <char> ; maximum name length 10 characters

	<control-section> := <control-pair> ["," <control-section>]

		<control-pair> := <control-name> ["="] <control-value>

		<control-name> := "o" | "d" | "b"
		; Valid in control section: o=default scale, d=default duration, b=default beats per minute. 
		; if not specified, defaults are 4=duration, 6=scale, 63=beats-per-minute
		; any unknown control-names must be ignored

		<tone-commands> := <tone-command> ["," <tone-commands>]

		<tone-command> :=<note> | <control-pair>

		<note> := [<duration>] <note> [<scale>] [<special-duration>] <delimiter>

			<duration> := "1" | "2" | "4" | "8" | "16" | "32" 
			; duration is divider of full note duration, eg. 4 represents a quarter note

			<note> := "P" | "C" | "C#" | "D" | "D#" | "E" | "F" | "F#" | "G" | "G#" | "A" | "A#" | "B" 

			<scale> :="4" | "5" | "6" | "7"
			; Note that octave 4: A=440Hz, 5: A=880Hz, 6: A=1.76 kHz, 7: A=3.52 kHz
			; The lowest note on the Nokia 61xx is A4, the highest is B7

			<special-duration> := "." ; Dotted note

; End of specification
