An application of “The Duration Trick” using AlloLib scores. The “trick” is simply knowing the duration of every discrete {`note on`, `note off`} event. That is to say, “every `note on` message is accompanied with an anticipated duration.”
Practically, this means not needing to send `note off` messages but the real added benefit having advanced knowledge of any given event’s total duration is that it is now possible to factor that value into the calculation of other musical and synthesis parameters—which is to say, we can more precisely craft the modulation of all the internal parameters of the event (e.g., filter sweep time, precision pitch bend, dynamic attack/release times, etc…).
This is the vital dimension necessary for musicians to shift from an “inside” time musical paradigm to one that is “outside” time. This is the essential distinction between music improvisation and music composition.
