What is a TONE file

How they work:

Text-based format: You can open these files with any text editor to see or edit the tone instructions.

Ringtone creation: The content is structured to be interpreted by software like Tone Generator, helping devices produce specific ringtones.

Easy customization: Users can modify the file to create custom tone patterns if they understand the syntax.
