Music Documentation
Beep8 features generative music using ZzFx. You can generate music, or you can create your own.
The music generation is still experimental and the music created is not as good as I would like, so if you use it be prepared for your music to change (hopefully for the better).
If you have experience with generating music I would love to get some help with this. You can check the code on the Beep8 GitHub.
beep8.Music.addSong(name)
Add a custom zzfxM song.
You can compose your own songs using the zzfxM format and the zzfxM song tracker.
You should use the addSong function to add the song to the music library, and then use the play and stop functions as you would with a generated song.
