Creates one or more objects of type {type}. If {type} is a container class then only one object is created with an optional {name}. Otherwise {type} is a data class (such as midi-note, etc.) and {number} of these objects are created. If {number} may also be the token *, in which case the first expr in the {slot expr}* pairs is assumed to be an item stream whose period length determines the number of objects to create dynamically. The new objects are placed at {position}, which may be the name of a container or a container and index. If {position} is not specified, it defaults to Top-Level for containers and the current focus container or the Pasteboard for data.

Example:

Stella [Top-Level]: new thread foo bar[4]

Stella [Top-Level]: new midi-note 5 foo

Stella [Top-Level]: {new midi-note 20 foo[1] 
                      note (between 30 90) rhythm 1.0}
