PatternConductor provides a simple interactive control (supporting play, pause, resume, stop) for playing pattern, much like Pattern: -play. However, PatternConductor creates its own clock and directly controls the release of sounding notes as well as their initiation by the pattern.
Sets the tempo of the PatternConductor
Play the pattern. A TempoClock is created, its tempo is set to the PatternConductor tempo, and the pattern is played using that clock. If quant is non-zero, this is synchronized with TempoClock.default at the specified quantization.
Pause the pattern, sustaining notes indefinitely. A subsequent -resume will return to the original tempo (so the notes will end as scheduled). A subsequent -play will cut-off any sounding notes and resume play at the original tempo.
can cut-off or shorten sounding notes, depending on the value of tempo. If stopTempo is nil, all notes are cut-off immediately. Otherwise, notes end at the specified tempo.
