Salo 3510 — Polyphonic Ringtone
Salo 3510 · polyphonic ringer module · restored from unit no. RG-9948-1130 · Salo Oy, Salo, Finland, 1999
The restorer's note
Six years past the 3210: a handful of cheap FM voices and a marginally better speaker — the brief, beloved age of the polyphonic ringtone. Restored from a late unit. The small-speaker rasp is in the recording, not a fault in yours.

Listening
Demonstration recordings, prepared at the bench.
Sixteen voices
A chord cycle in A minor with a melody above — the FM voices at bench settings, Algorithm 1, the small speaker doing what it can.
0:00 / 0:30
Four algorithms
Algorithm steps from 1 through 4 as FM Depth rises from 20 to 70 % — the same chords recast four ways — and at the close Ratio jumps to 5.0 and the voicing goes to bells.

Four voices, then thirty-two
Eight-note chords against a four-voice cap — the earlier notes stolen mid-ring — then Voices is raised to thirty-two and the same chords hold whole. Speaker at full.
