You can also create sequences and mixes of "notes" and "rests" or collections of MIDI events, each
associated with its own time tag.
To create a rest object, use:
Rest durationInBeats:
To create a note, use any of the following creation messages:
Note durationInBeats:
Note durationInBeats:frequency:
Note durationInBeats:frequency:velocity:
Note durationInBeats:velocity: frequency:
Note durationInBeats: frequency:durationInBeats:velocity:
To create a sequence of events (where an event is a Note, a Rest, an EventSequence, an EventMix, or a
TimedEventCollection) use:
EventSequence events: .
To create a mix of events which all start at the same time (where an event is a Note, a Rest, an
EventSequence, an EventMix, or a TimedEventCollection) use:
EventMix events: .
To create a collection of events, each of which has a starting time associated with it (where an event is a
Note, a Rest, an EventSequence, an EventMix, or a TimedEventCollection, and the starting time is
specified in beats) use:
TimedEventCollection startingBeats: events: .
To play a Note, Rest, EventSequence or EventMix, use:
playOnVoice:onBeat:bpm:
playOnVoice:
playOnVoice:bpm:
playOnVoice:onBeat:
