FamiCompose 2 1.7

FamiCompose 2 is a music macro language (MML) sequencer designed around the specifications of 8-bit game hardware. It offers a streamlined interface that aligns with standard iOS app design principles, facilitating ease of use for both novice and experienced users.

One notable feature is the ability to preview sounds in real-time via a "piano bar" while composing, enabling immediate auditory feedback. The application also includes an embedded reference sheet for quick access to command syntax and a selection of tutorial samples that illustrate various technical aspects of the MML specification.

Key MML Syntax Overview:

• Notes: c d e f g a b, with note length indicated by a number
• Accidentals: + or # for sharp notes; - for flat notes
• Duration modifiers: . to add half of the note’s length
• Rest: r, followed by length
• Octave control: o followed by a number; ＞ to step up an octave; ＜ to step down
• Default length: l followed by a number
• Volume: v followed by 0-15
• Envelope: v with values from -1 to -16; -0 disables envelope
• Tempo: t followed by a number
• Channels: , to switch to the next channel; ; to return to the first
• Noise generation: n with pitch (0–16) and length
• Waveform selection: @ followed by a number
• Comments: // for single-line comments; /* */ for block comments

Supported sound channels and waveforms include:

• Pulse1 (duty cycles: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%)
• Pulse2
• Noise, with options for 93-step or 32767-step sequences

The software provides sample compositions such as "Greensleeves" and "Scarborough Fair" to assist users in understanding its capabilities and applying the tools effectively.
