/*
 * SoundGenerator.m
 * Author: Ali Ozer, with assistance from David Jaffe and Doug Keislar.
 * Written for 1.0 5-May-89.
 * Last updated for 1.0 on 15-Aug-89.
 * Updated for 2.0 on 5-Sep-90; separated the panel into its own .nib file.
 * Updated for 2.0 on 9-Oct-90 by David Jaffe and Ali Ozer: changed Music Kit 
 *	code to be multi-threaded and timed, and made various other changes. 
 *
 * This class allows you to generate notes through the MusicKit; create an 
 * instance of this class, enable it, then use playNote: to play notes.
 * Currently the code in here isn't too general; you're stuck with no
 * more than NUMNOTES notes simultaneously, for instance, and not all
 * parameters can be changed at runtime.
 * 
 * SoundGenerator provides various IB-style target-action methods and
 * outlets to allow hooking up a user interface.  If you do hook up input
 * devices, pay attention to the various ranges of values allowed (see
 * comments below). Also note that the modulator index and frequency
 * multiplier input devices should be on a log scale; thus the values
 * used are actually equal to 10.0^(input value). 
 *
 *  You may freely copy, distribute and reuse the code in this example.
 *  NeXT disclaims any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied,
 *  as to its fitness for any particular use.

    /*
	For fastest response, we could run the orchestra in "untimed
	mode", which means that DSP commands are executed as soon as
	they're received.  However, since envelopes (in the SynthPatch
	Fm1) are fed one breakpoint at a time to the DSP by the host,
	and since there is buffering in the sound driver, very small
	attacks can get lost.  If you want very short attacks, there
	are two ways to go:
    
	1) Set the orchestra to timed mode and include a "delta time" of .1 by 
	   calling MKSetDeltaT(.1), which gives the DSP a 100 ms cushion.
    
	2) Change the envelope to begin at 1 instead of 0 when the attack is 
	   small
    
	We use solution 1 above.
