Parser and player of **F**amicon **F**lavored **M**usic **M**acro **L**anguage (FFMML).
Famicon is also known as NES (Nintendo Entertainment System).
🎵 [Web Player][demo]
The language specification of FFMML is based on [MCK].
But there are (known) differences between FFMML and MCK as follows:
- FFMML doesn't support the following features:
- `#INCLUDE` directive
- `#OCTAVE-REV` directive
- `@n` command (direct frequency select)
- `n` command (direct note select)
- `y` command (direct memory entry)
- DPCM channel
- FFMML features `#CHANNEL <CHANNEL_NAME> <OSCILLATOR>` directive that defines custom channels:
- `<CHANNEL_NAME>`: `A..=Z`
- `<OSCILLATOR>`: `1` (pulse wave), `2` (triangle wave), or `3` (noise)

The following example parses an MML script and generates audio data:
```rust
let mml = r#"; From https://www.nesdev.org/mck_guide_v1.0.txt

let music = mml.parse::<ffmml::Music>().unwrap_or_else(|e| panic!("{e}"));
let mut player = music.play(48000);
let audio_data = (&mut player).collect::<Vec<_>>();
player.take_last_error().map(|e| panic!("{e}"));
```
To play the music defined by the above MML script, run the following commands:
```console
$ cargo install ffmmlc
$ cat examples/music01.mml | ffmmlc > music01.wav
$ play music01.wav
```
