ProTrackR: chiptunes in R (part two)

A short follow-up on my previous post. I have just released a new version of the ProTrackR package (available on the CRAN). It can now actually play ProTracker modules, yeah! The routine isn't perfect yet but it does a decent job at the moment. The example below shows how you can download a module from ModArchive and play it:

	# load the required packages
	require(ProTrackR)
	# set up a connection to 'cyberrid.mod':
	con <- url("http://api.modarchive.org/downloads.php?moduleid=40293", "rb")
	# download module:
	mod <- read.module(con)
	close(con)
	rm(con)
	# and play it:
	mod.wave <- playMod(mod,
	max.duration = 300,
	target.rate = 22050)
	# plot the waveform:
	plot(mod.wave)
