Instrument

Instruments can respond to commands to alter their parameters while playing. Instruments may fall into several categories:

• one shot sounds
• • played with initial velocity
• • may have a curtailed envelope (cutoff)
• • may have modulations while playing, probably not.
• • provides a flag that proves it's playing. this is used for whole mono mode
• loops
• • volume may change while playing
• • there may be a resynch signal like for mellotrons. there may be a target chosen to be the resynching target, its 0 is every 0
• • wavetable may be calculated to play at different pitches
• attack sustain release
• • as in AUMI Sings
• • sustain can be loop or grains
• • pitch and intensity can modulate
• • ranked samples like AUMI Sings

the one shots and asrs could have sforzando jnstruments as sound sources.
