I am having a little bit of problem with your pseudo-code, but I would say first off that you
should compare your code to the existing playsequence example.  You cannot send events
directly to the DLS synth.  It needs to be associated with a Sequence node and an audio output
node.  Is there a specific reason you need to build your graph from scratch in this fashion?
