System structure

To use TiSM correctly, it is better to understand how the system work.

TiSM is a general message processing system. It is not limited to MIDI messages processing, but can handle any kind of list of 8-bits values. MIDI messages are a sub-set of this kind of messages.

TiSM is composed by different subsystems:

• Input/Output subsystem : communication with the outside world. It can support different message protocol as MIDI. See the IO section.
• Control subsystem : The tcl interpreter. It executes the scripts associated with received messages. There are two control system layer. See the Control section.
• Sequencer subsystem : it manages messages sequences playing and recording. See the Sequencer section.
