All Chime Master ringing systems feature our unique and proprietary SmartAlmanacTM. This feature organizes an expansive musical library to always play appropriate music on the special days and seasons of the year. This means that instead of editing the system's schedule with specific hymns every week or weeks ahead, all you have to do is tell the system when to play SmartAlmanac music and it will do it for you. It is truly a set-it-and-forget-it system.

Advanced eXperience bell ringing systems provide initial Guided Setup screens that tailor the music and seasonal dates to your unique worship tradition. Our decades of experience setting systems up before shipping has informed the Guided Setup algorithms, and most churches never find the need to move on to the next step.

Log in to your Chime.CenterTM Management Portal to make even more refinements to the SmartAlmanac. All musical selections are collected in Albums, which are given names such as General Hymns, Christmas Carols and Catholic Hymns. Each season is also given a name, starting and ending criteria and most importantly, a list of music Albums. The start and end criteria includes methods of determining a day based on actual dates (and lists of dates), ordinal dates as well as movable feasts and seasons that are based upon other seasons like Easter. The system already has preset dates for both Eastern and Western Easter through 2099.
