Former Moderati Technical Unit Translates Ringtone Expertise
to Games, Bringing PC- Like Audio to Cellphone Entertainment
 
San Francisco- June 12, 2007--- Mobile content technology developer Faith West Inc., ghereinafter referred to as Faith Westh from which leading ringtone services provider Moderati Inc. ghereinafter refferd to as Moderati Inc.h spun-off, is now applying its considerable mobile audio prowess to the game industry.

This month, Faith West is introducing a remarkable improvement in audio quality with their new product, mXMFTool. This new tool leverages the flexibility of open standards, allowing developers to create robust ringtones, mobile game audio and other applications. Faith West is also bundling a library of 125 royalty-free mobile game audio sound effects with mXMFTool, making it easier than ever for developers to enhance the mobile game experiences for their consumers. These in-house sound files include animal noises, human actions, sports effects, weapons, vehicular noises, and environmental tones in standard DLS format. Because the collectionfs offerings are license-free, developers can add sounds to their applications with or without customization.

"Increasingly, we've found that customers want to include more and more sophisticated audio in their applications," says Haruko Kurata, Director of Faith West, "and mXMFTool allows developers to make highly creative use of their limited resources."

gRight now, mXMF is doing for audio what 3G is doing for data. Sound designers can generate as realistic a level of sound as MP3, while keeping file sizes small and as easy to manipulate as MIDI."

mXMFTool is also optimized for use with the Qualcomm® CMX multimedia engine software, which is installed on more than 200 million handsets worldwide. Developers can preview content using the CMX emulator, as well as check compatibility with CMXbased phones. mXMFTool is the only XMF/DLS authoring tool that features CMX emulation.

This flexibility makes mXMFTool one of the first comprehensive tools of its kind for creating these new sound formats. With an intuitive UI and a robust feature set that includes batch XMF conversion, DLS file size optimization, wave editing and CMX compatibility, it's expected to have high uptake among developers eager to add sounds that match their visions.

mXMFTool is one of many new innovations from Faith West, which first launched polyphonic ringtones service under the Modtones? brand in June 2002 and quickly became an industry leader in mobile content. The company changed its name to Moderati, Inc. in March 2005, while remaining a subsidiary of Faith, Inc. In February 2007, BellRock Media, Inc. purchased Moderatifs content business.
