OutputUnit

An OutputUnit represents a way of sending MIDI messages to the synthesizer, or other output device. OutputUnit is a class which the ScorePlayer uses to play the MIDI_msgs in the Score. To simply send the messages out using oap->write(), use OutputUnit itself as your OutputUnit. Or, you can write your own subclass of OutputUnit and override the write() method to provide more complicated customized behavior.

class OutputUnit {
public:
  OutputUnit();
  virtual ~OutputUnit();
  virtual void write(MIDI_msg);
  void write(MIDI_msg, int);
};

OutputUnit(): This creates a new OutputUnit.
~OutputUnit(): This destroys the OutputUnit.
void write(MIDI_msg m): This sends the MIDI message m to the synthesizer using oap->write(). Meta events are not actually sent to the synthesizer.
void write(MIDI_msg m, int n): This calls the write() method of the OutputUnit n times with message m.
