         └────────── kill() ──────────┘

API Example: 

Voice voice(config);
voice.trigger(params);
voice.process(outputs, numSamples);
voice.release();

2. VoiceAllocator (890 líneas)

Stealing Strategies (5): 1. OLDEST - Steal voice with maximum age 2. QUIETEST - Steal voice with minimum amplitude 3. LOWEST_PRIORITY - Steal voice with minimum priority 4. ROUND_ROBIN - Cycle through voices sequentially 5. SAME_NOTE - Steal voice playing same note

Polyphony Modes (4): 1. MONOPHONIC_LEGATO - One voice, smooth pitch transition 2. MONOPHONIC_RETRIGGER - One voice, always retrigger 3. POLYPHONIC - Multiple voices, standard behavior 4. UNISON - Multiple voices per note with detune

Features: - ✅ Voice pool management - ✅ Thread-safe (mutex-protected) - ✅ Real-time safe (pre-allocated pool) - ✅ Unison detune calculation - ✅ Unison stereo spread - ✅ Statistics tracking - ✅ Dynamic configuration

API Example: 

VoiceAllocator allocator(config);
allocator.setVoicePool(std::move(voices));

IVoice* voice = allocator.allocate(params);
// Use voice...
allocator.deallocate(voice);

🎯 DECISIONES DE DISEÑO

Voice Implementation

1. Linear ADSR Envelope - Decision: Linear instead of exponential - Rationale: Simpler, predictable, easier to test - Result: Fast implementation, good enough for most uses

2. Atomic State Management - Decision: std::atomic - Rationale: Lock-free queries, thread-safe - Result: No mutex overhead, fast state access

3. Automatic Transitions - Decision: Envelope handles ATTACK→SUSTAIN, RELEASE→DEAD - Rationale: Simpler API, sample-accurate - Result: Less user error, cleaner code

4. Mono-to-Stereo Output - Decision: Generate mono, output to both channels - Rationale: Simple voice, panning at allocator level - Result: Efficient processing

VoiceAllocator Implementation

1. Mutex-Protected Pool - Decision: std::mutex for pool access - Rationale: Safe multi-threading, brief locks - Result: Thread-safe, minimal contention

2. Pre-Allocated Pool - Decision: User provides voices upfront - Rationale: RT-safe, no allocations during use - Result: Predictable performance

3. Strategy Pattern - Decision: Runtime-switchable strategies - Rationale: Flexibility, different use cases - Result: One implementation, multiple behaviors

4. Unison Detune - Decision: Symmetric spread around center - Rationale: Natural sound, balanced stereo - Result: Professional unison effect

5. Atomic Statistics - Decision: std::atomic for counters - Rationale: Lock-free updates - Result: No performance impact

💻 USO COMPLETO

Setup Básico

#include "VoiceAllocator.h"
#include "Voice.h"

// 1. Create voice pool
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<IVoice>> voices;
for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i) {
    VoiceConfig config;
    config.sampleRate = 48000.0f;
    config.waveform = OscillatorWaveform::SINE;
    voices.push_back(std::make_unique<Voice>(config));
}

// 2. Configure allocator
VoiceAllocatorConfig config;
config.maxVoices = 16;
config.stealingStrategy = VoiceStealingStrategy::OLDEST;
config.polyphonyMode = PolyphonyMode::POLYPHONIC;

VoiceAllocator allocator(config);
allocator.setVoicePool(std::move(voices));

// 3. Allocate voices
VoiceParams params;
params.note = 60;
params.velocity = 100;
params.frequency = 440.0f;

IVoice* voice = allocator.allocate(params);

// 4. Process audio
float* outputs[2] = { leftBuffer, rightBuffer };
voice->process(outputs, numSamples);

// 5. Release
allocator.deallocate(voice);

Unison Mode

VoiceAllocatorConfig config;
config.polyphonyMode = PolyphonyMode::UNISON;
config.unisonVoices = 4;
config.unisonDetune = 0.15f;  // 15 cents
config.unisonSpread = 0.8f;   // 80% stereo

VoiceAllocator allocator(config);
// Allocating one note creates 4 detuned voices
IVoice* voice = allocator.allocate(params);

MIDI Sequencer Integration

SimpleMidiSequencer sequencer;

// Add notes
sequencer.addNote(60, 100, 0.0f, 0.5f, sampleRate);
sequencer.addNote(64, 100, 0.5f, 0.5f, sampleRate);
sequencer.addNote(67, 100, 1.0f, 0.5f, sampleRate);

// Process
sequencer.reset();
sequencer.process(allocator, numSamples);
