Using "Let" to give midi note numbers names (probably really obvious!)

Another approach is using inhabit, you pass it a list of names and patterns, like this:

let drum pat = sound (inhabit [("bd", "231"), ("sd", "232")] pat)

d1 $ drum "bd sd" # midichan 9

You could also hide the midi channel in there so you don't have to type it each time

let drum pat = sound (inhabit [("bd", "231"), ("sd", "232")] pat) # midichan 9

d1 $ drum "bd sd"
d2 $ drum "bd*3 sd*2"

Note that the "232" bit is a pattern, so you could have one name trigger more than one event e.g.

let drum pat = sound (inhabit [("bd", "231"), ("rush", "232*8"), ("sd", "232")] pat) # midichan 9

d1 $ drum "bd sd rush"
