Abstract

A method for making a bell sound in a mobile communication terminal is provided to simultaneously set a scale and a rhythm by one key input while writing music and to use the bell sound by composing a timer in the mobile terminal which stores a program capable of performing a composition function. A user executes bell sound making application stored in a terminal to compose a bell sound or arrange stored music(S10). The user selects a composition mode or an arrangement mode(S20). When the user selects the composition mode, a control unit displays a piano picture on which a music paper and numbers are written on an LCD unit(S30). The user presses a numerical key and sets a scale. The control unit drives a timer for setting a rhythm of the scale according to key input. The timer counts a time in which the numerical key is pressed, and provides the counted time to the control unit. The control unit compares the counted time with a stored rhythm value, and automatically sets a rhythm. If music stored in a bell sound memory does not exist when the arrangement mode is selected, the control unit converts the arrangement mode into a composition mode(S50,S60). If the music stored in the bell sound memory exists, the control unit selects a part to be arranged by using a directional key of the key input unit, and corrects an interval and a rhythm by using a numerical key(S70,S80). The bell sound converting unit converts the composed sound source, and stores the converted sound source in the bell sound memory(S90,S100).
