Fork Code: Aphex Twin's Avril 14th - SuperCollider transcription by Nicola Ariutti

// Aphex Twin's Avril 14th 
// SuperCollider transcription by Nicola Ariutti.
//
// From an music sheet by Micheal Jordan (https://www.sheetsdaily.com/piano/sheets/45931/Aphex_Twin_Avril_14th.html)
// The code is meant to send MIDI data to an external synthetizer like Modartt Pianoteq.
//
// Inspired by the work of Via (https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/12650/via-aphex-twin-avril14th-puredata-cover)
// I wanted to make my own version of it.
// Enjoy!!!
