Some incredible scripts here.
Your usage of randcat function seems a little bit unorthodox but very effective in that script : https://gitlab.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/waldmann/computer-mu/-/blob/master/tidal/code/rhythm.tidal

I wonder what the operator ** is for ?

Hi. I'm glad you find this interesting.

randcat .. un-orthodox

what would be the orthodox way?

This code certainly over-uses it. I think there is a kindohm tutorial somewhere on reducing randomness.

(**)

Exponentiation. Arguments on both sides can be patterned. |*| speed (2 ** k) transposes k octaves up, (2**(1/12)) is a semi-tone (in equal temperament).

I'd say the classic way would be something like :

d1 $ randcat [s "bd*2" , s "cp"]

Thank you :slight_smile:
