can anyone tell me why i only get silence during my someCycles
cycles with the pattern below?
do
let pat = "t(3,8)"
d2 $ someCycles (struct (inv pat)) $ struct (pat) $ s "bd"

that's a tricky one haha
I think what is happening is that the two structs in a row are 'canceling each other out' since you use a pattern and it's invert for your structure. Let's consider a simpler example where
pat = "t f"
then we have inv pat = "f t"
again for simplicity let's assume that someCycles
is not there, so we are interested in the following pattern
struct "f t" $ struct "t f" $ s "bd"
.
After the first struct this will be equivalent to
strutc "f t" $ s "bd ~"
this is bad since the f
is matching up with the bd
and the t
with the silence, thus producing silence.
To solve this you can move the someCycles
into the struct
like this:
do
let pat = "t(3,8)"
d2 $ struct (someCycles inv pat) $ s "bd"
This was pretty fun to figure out though, we should maybe make a kind of a riddle game out of it like, given this pattern, why does it produce this sound?
also, i changed the name of this thread to hopefully encourage more riddles
