Hi all!
I've been trying to make a pattern that's part of a cat sequence trigger only once every 4 cycles. Here's my code, which I know isn't working cause I lack the necessary arguments to the every function:
$ slow 2
$ cat[
n "d4 f4"
, n "d4@2 f4 a4"
, every 4 (n "{d4@5 c4@2 f4@2 e4@5}%4")
]
# s "DN"
# midichan 0
# gain 1.2
How can I go about adding this last pattern while still making it trigger only on its fourth repetition?
I'm not sure that you can do that with cat
, but how I'd approach it would be to completely override the cat
pattern with a const
:
$ slow 2
$ (every 4 (const $ n "{d4@5 c4@2 f4@2 e4@5}%4")
$ cat [
n "d4 f4"
, n "d4@2 f4 a4"
] )
# s "DN"
# midichan 0
# gain 1.2
Disclaimer: I have not tested this code.
const
is a very common trick I use to completely change a pattern conditionally.

You could use mask
cat[
n "d4 f4"
, n "d4@2 f4 a4"
, mask "<t f f f>" (n "{d4@5 c4@2 f4@2 e4@5}%4")
]
or maybe mask "<t f!3>"
is clearer
