A
string of terminals and structural symbols generated by the Bol Processor is
converted to MIDI messages in the following way: each terminal represents a
sequence of MIDI codes or a "
musical
gesture"
recorded from a MIDI instrument. We call these sequences
sound-object
prototypes.
Sound-objects
are generally not performed at the same speed they have been defined. Their
time-scale depends both on the tempo of the performance and on certain
properties assigned to their prototypes.
