-/**
-   Handy class to help keep audio buffer in sync with incoming MIDI events.
-   To use it, create a local variable (on the stack) and call nextEvent() until it returns false.
-   @code
-    for (AudioMidiSyncHelper amsh(outputs, frames, midiEvents, midiEventCount); amsh.nextEvent();)
-    {
-        float* const outL = amsh.outputs[0];
-        float* const outR = amsh.outputs[1];
-
-        for (uint32_t i=0; i<amsh.midiEventCount; ++i)
-        {
-            const MidiEvent& ev(amsh.midiEvents[i]);
-            // ... do something with the midi event
-        }
-
-        renderSynth(outL, outR, amsh.frames);
-    }
-   @endcode
-
-   Some important notes when using this class:
-    1. MidiEvent::frame retains its original value, but it is useless, do not use it.
-    2. The class variables names are be the same as the default ones in the run function.
-       Keep that in mind and try to avoid typos. :)
