public interface MusicPart

extends ExtendedAudioSpec

MusicParts extend the capability of audio control objects as they provide an instrument that will play or render the control information (ie. notes, etc) of that particular part. The analogy is an instrument in an orchestra that plays a particular part in a score.

The NoteChannel is responsible for producing the sound.

In its completeness a MusicPart has a sense of it volume, its balance location in a left-right stereo field and an instrument that is the sound it produces.
