Week 2 lesson 3 - Combining patterns with arithmetic, plus the 'hurry' function

Learning Tidalcycles course Week 2 - effects, time, arithmetic
21

Hello. I'm not sure if I should be "waking up" this thread, but I have a question about the examples on the worksheet. There's one example that includes this rhythm:

d1 $ n "0(5,8) [4 1]" # sound "drum"

I don't get how "0(5,8)" works, how this combination of parenthesis and comma is changing the rhythm and I couldn't find any tip in previous worksheet.

Btw, lesson 5 from week 1 is missing on the "Course I (> 1.6)" page.

Thank you!

EDIT: just remembered this has to do with Euclidean Patterns! So it is applying the pattern to the 0:drum sound fitting it in the first half of the cycle, right?

Waking up threads is encouraged :slight_smile: Yes as you say, it's a Euclidean pattern squashed into the first half.

Here are all the lessons, to make sure you're not missing any.
