    @hdensity - how many onsets individual parts are playing;
    @vdensity - how many layers are active);
    @tala - 2+3 grouping;
    @phrases - how many phrases in form;
    @exiting - when it finishes its form, it will exit in the next phrase, and send this message.

    @exiting - will exit next phrase.
