Patterns Library

Currently, the patterns library contains only the patterns ported from the SuperCollider programming language.

List Patterns

• pfsm - Finite State Machine
• pindex - pattern that indexes into an array
• pswitch - embed values in a list according to a pattern of indices
• pclump - a pattern that takes another pattern and groups its values into arrays
• pgeom - geometric series pattern
• place - interlaced embedding of subarrays
• prand - embed values randomly chosen from a list
• pseq - sequentially embed values in a list
• pser - sequentially embed values in a list
• pseries - arithmetic series pattern
• pshuf - sequentially embed values in a list in constant, but random order
• pslide - slide over a list of values and embed them
• ptuple - combine a list of streams to a stream of lists
• pwalk - a one-dimensional random walk over a list of values that are embedded
• pwrand - embed values randomly chosen from a list
• pxrand - embed values randomly chosen from a list

Random Patterns

• pbeta - random values that follow a Eulerian Beta Distribution
• pbrown - brownian motion pattern
• pcauchy - random values that follow a Cauchy Distribution
• pexprand - random values that follow a Exponential Distribution
• pgauss - random values that follow a Gaussian Distribution
• pgbrown - geometric brownian motion pattern
• phprand - random values that tend toward hi
• plprand - random values that tend toward lo
• pmeanrand - random values that tend toward ((lo + hi) / 2)
• ppoisson - random values that follow a Poisson Distribution (positive integer values)
• pwhite - random values with uniform distribution

Repetition Patterns

• pclutch - sample and hold a pattern
• pconst - constrain the sum of a value pattern
• pdup - repeat input stream values
• pn - repeatedly embed a pattern
• psubdivide - partition a value into n equal subdivisions
