Salo 3210 — Monophonic Ringer
Salo 3210 · single-voice ringer module · restored from unit no. RG-9312-0245 · Salo Oy, Salo, Finland, 1993
The restorer's note
One voice, one buzzer, one melody — a phone ringing in a coat pocket in 1993. There is nothing to improve here, and we have improved nothing; the tinniness is the piezo speaker, modeled faithfully from the module as found.

Demonstration recordings, prepared at the bench.
The ring, plainly
A monophonic ringing phrase at bench settings — the Square wave through the piezo-buzzer model, Buzzer at 60 % — repeated, as the machine insists.
0:00 / 0:30
Three shapes and a slide
The same phrase through Square, then Pulse — Pulse Width swept from 5 to 95 % — then Triangle; Glide at 80 ms lets the final phrase slide between its notes.

The buzzer, in and out
Drive at 90 % clips the wave hard while Buzzer walks from nought to full — the plastic resonance arriving — then drops away and returns for the close. Attack at 10 ms, Decay at 800 ms.
