Hi @indiantinker, working with long samples is a fairly large topic that we will get to later in the course.
The problem you’re hearing is that in tidal, you’re triggering the sound every cycle, but the break sounds last longer than a cycle. There are a few ways around this, here’s one:
d1 $ loopAt 2 $ chop 32 $ sound "break"
Adjust the loopAt number to spread the break over that number of cycles. You can also adjust the tempo with e.g. setcps 0.6, trying different numbers to hear the effect.
As I say there are a lot of different approaches to this, there is fun to come!
