Beginner Question about Envelope / Timing

[sumnerdr]

Hi All,

Audio Library newbie here.
I'm curious as to how people handle scheduling "noteOn" and "noteOff" messages for envelopes in the audio library.
For example, if I want to do something like:

envelope1.noteOn();
delay(1000);
envelope1.noteOff();
delay(1000);

Obviously, delay is not a smart choice here as is is blocking (i.e., if I wanted to read a sensor during this time).
I've looked around the listed examples and helpfiles, and didn't find a definitive answer.

Are people out there using millis() this kind of timing in relation to the audio library? Or is there some other functionality built into the library that I am missing?

Thank in advance for any tips / a point in the right direction.
