—————— SoundScapes

Data-Link Software Central brings you SoundScapes! These are complete Sound Schemes ready for downloading to your watch. But before you can access them they must be added to your timexdl.dat file.

  New!  

With the new SoundScape Simple Setup program you can now easily install these SoundScapes! Just download the program, unzip it to a directory, then download your soundscape and unzip it to the same directory (You may also need the system files available as a separate download in order to run the program). If you no longer want the SoundScape, simply run SoundScape Simple Setup again with the same INI in place and it will automatically remove the SoundScape!

  Download SoundScape Simple Setup  

You may need the Visual Basic Runtime to run SoundScape Simple Setup.

Please note that the sound format is limited in capability. This means that the notes I can play, their length and the length of the file are dictated. The format is flexible, which means I can dedicate a lot of the space to one melody, or I can have more, smaller melodies. Melody strings can also be repeated, attached together, etc... I have read that the file can be quite large but have personally experienced problems after it gets larger than 68 bytes (really 64, minus header).

I have included here a number of my schemes I like. However, if you have any ideas, or want me to program you a custom SoundScape, see below.


SoundScapes Available...

New SoundScapes!

With my recent aqcuisition of a Datalink 150S Expedition model watch I have had to tweek the soundscheme I always usually keep in my watch. I had my own personal verion of the Mobile Ring, which accentuated the lower tones. This sounded fantastic on the Model 150 watch, but due to its smaller size the 150S is not quite as loud with the lower tones. I have therefore created a version which accentuates the tones the 150S likes. I have included both of these SoundScapes below for anyone who is interested.


Model 150 Mobile Ring

My personally tweeked version of my Mobile Phone (Ringing) SoundScape (see beow). This accentuates the lower tones the 150 is capable of.


Model 150S Mobile Ring

My personally tweeked version of my Mobile Phone (Ringing) SoundScape (see beow). This accentuates the middle tones the 150S model prefers to use..


Executive

An Executive SoundScape. Very Functional, yet reserved. Short Alarms and Appointments suitable for the office environment. A fully featured scheme.


Warble It

A very 'alarming' alarm and appointment sounds. This features a short warbling sound followed by three staccato beeps. Short and attention getting. A fully featured scheme.


Ranger

For the rugged outdoorsman. This SoundScape has an attractive 'bugle' sorta sound to the alarms and appointments. A fully featured scheme.


The X-Files

Pretty obvious what I tried here. This is a snippet from the sheet music, hashed over to the watches note scheme. A good sound, just remember the watch has limitations! A fully featured scheme.


Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner (Reprise)

My first and best. I warn you though the Appointment and Alarm are a large section of the song, but the rest had to be a simple single beep. If you like Suzanne Vega (as I do) you'll LOVE this one.

I believe this one breaks my own publicised rules for SoundScape length. You may have to redownload your WristApp at the same time to use this one.


Star Wars Main Theme

The beginning of the main Star Wars theme, you know, when the movie first begins. A full featured SoundScape that Star Wars fans cannot be without.


SOS (Functional)

In the spirit of a good Swiss Army Knive (i.e. Victorinox) this SoundScape is so functional that when the Alarm goes off it beeps out SOS in Morse code! A fully featured scheme.


Mobile Phone (Ringing)

Very James Bond. When you are due to be at an appointment your watch will ring you! Ring is very reminiscent of a mobile phone. A fully featured scheme with a very good sound. (I usually have this 'Scape in my watch)


Droid Sounds

This was an experimentation, but I liked it so much I saved it. I was trying to get that nice droid feel. That high technology computer talk, that "I’m trying to tell you something in my own way". Its a fully featured SoundScape with an attractive, non-melodic sound.


Low Power SoundScape

After downloading all those SoundScapes, you’ll want our Low Power SoundScape to limp to the Jeweler for a new battery! A fully featured scheme that was built both for low power consumption, but also for office use. Its a little embarrassing when the intro to Star Wars starts up in a meeting!


Für Elise

The clasic Für Elise. To make the tune slow enough I had to fudge a few of the longer notes but the overall sound is quite good. A fully featured SoundScape which I feel only the criminally insane will enjoy.


Tone Range Test

This is a simple SoundScape, not intended for download to the watch. It goes through the tones the watch is capable of. This is for those of you who want me to program you a SoundScape. For more information on getting a custom SoundScape programmed see below.
