I don't know about you, but I get fed up with the same old ringtones on my phone. Even when I download tones based on well-known tracks I still get irritated after three or four calls.

MusAic is designed to change all that, offering you a way to always ensure you have fresh new tones, while promoting your creativity at the same time. The program allows you to create polyphonic music in any genre using Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

Don't worry, you don't need to be Mozart in order to compose a beautiful ringtone in MusAic. In fact, you don't really need any musical knowledge because the system is largely automated. All you have to is choose a style of music and adjust the 'width' of it using the appropriate sliders, which will automatically generate an original polyphonic ringtone. You can then rate this ditty using another slider. Over time, as you create and rate different tunes, MusAic will start to learn the kind of music you like and will generate similar tones in future.

Once you get used to the rather clunky interface (which is skinable, incidentally), you'll find it pretty easy to start making tunes. You can even export them as MIDI files if you wish. The main problem I had with MusAic though is that it really doesn't feel like you're in control of what you're creating, because all your basically doing is adjusting a couple of slide bars and the software does the rest.

MusAic is fun and easy to use, but ultimately doesn't give you a great deal of creative input.
