SmartAlmanac seasonal music

Essential, Managed and Premium level subscribers may add, disable or edit liturgical seasons. Manage seasonal music by creating, editing and assigning music albums to seasons.

Media loading

Essential, Managed and Premium subscriptions support uploads. Millennium and Platinum systems support MIDI file chime and carillon arrangements made with popular notation software. Platinum systems support audio files that can be used for music, announcements or warning signals.

Software updates

The system will accept regular updates, as they are released, to improve functionality and enhance security. No user interaction is required.

Backups

All systems will have their schedule database backed up regularly. In the event the system should need replaced, the replacement will be restored from previous system schedule backups.

Complete backup

Managed and Premium subscribers will have their uploaded files as well as keyboard recordings backed up along with the database, which requires additional Chime Center storage.

Factory management

Factory management requires the ringing system to be Internet connected. After consulting with our customer service representatives by phone or email, you can expect the programming to be completed within two business days.

  • Premium subscribers may use this service as much as they need it at no additional charge.
  • Managed subscribers will not be charged for the first request per calendar year. A programming fee will be charged for additional requests during the year.
  • Other subscribers may are charged for schedule and setting changes per request.
