Plasma Mobile needs a set of ringtones/alarm/event sounds. Since we're already working on a contest with LMMS to have a new sound theme for Plasma in general, now it's a good time to start planning a future contest for Plasma Mobile.
Ringtones and alarm sounds
Judges will select at least 3 ringtones and 3 alarm sounds. These sounds don't have to be from the same participant.
Since ringtones are different and also more complex than just notification sounds, in order to not overwhelm contestants, we should probably expect the ringtones to be short loops of sound instead of full compositions. The classic iPhone ringtone is an example of a short and memorable song.
List of event/miscellaneous sounds
- Sound when pressing normal key in virtual keyboard
- Sound when pressing modifier key (like shift) in virtual keyboard
