    @synth
    @melody

## platform ##

Max standalone, built from Max 6.1.8 on Macintosh.

## messages ##

sends:
    @notepool (pitches used by all synths in current measure);
    @hdensity (percentile of possible onsets);
    @vdensity (percentile of possible active voices);
    @tala (additive rhythm of 2 & 3);
    @phraselength (# of measures in phrases);
    @exiting - when it finishes its form, it will exit in the next phrase, and send this message.

receives:
    @tala (additive rhythm of 2 & 3);
    @phraselength (will generate its own at load, but incoming value will replace it);
phrases (number of phrases in form: will generate its own, but will converge on received phrases);
    @plan/chordDuration (will generate its own, but incoming plan will replace);
    @plan/chords (will generate its own, but incoming plan will replace);
    @exiting (will exit when other bots send this message).
