CPS

🏆 Phase 1 Complete!

1.1 Pattern Fundamentals

sound() + n() - Sample Numbers

sound("bd sn").n("0 1 2")

note() - Musical Notes

sound("arpy").note("c e g c")

up() - Transpose Semitones

sound("arpy").note("c e g").up("0 12 7")

freq() - Direct Frequency

sound("sine").freq("440 554 659")

midinote() - MIDI Notes

sound("arpy").midinote("60 64 67")
1.2 Time Transforms

every() - Every N Cycles

sound("bd sn bd sn") .every(4, x => x.fast(2))

sometimes() - 50% Random

sound("bd sn bd sn") .sometimes(x => x.gain(0.3))

often() - 75% Chance

sound("hh hh hh hh") .often(x => x.lpf(800))

rarely() - 25% Chance

sound("bd sn bd sn") .rarely(x => x.rev())

density() - Speed Without Pitch

sound("bd sn cp").density(1.5)

whenmod() - Conditional

sound("bd sn bd sn") .whenmod(8, 0, x => x.fast(2))
1.3 Audio Effects

lpf() - Low Pass Filter

sound("hh*8").lpf(800)

hpf() - High Pass Filter

sound("bd sn bd sn").hpf(200)

bpf() - Band Pass Filter

sound("arpy*4").bpf(1000)

delay() - Echo Effect

sound("cp ~ cp ~").delay(0.25)

reverb() - Reverb Effect

sound("bd sn").reverb(0.4)

distortion() - Distort

sound("bd sn bd sn").distortion(5)

crush() - Bit Crushing

sound("arpy*4").crush(4)

vowel() - Vowel Filters

sound("saw").note("c e g").vowel("a")
1.4 Composition

cat() - Sequential Patterns

cat([ sound("bd sn"), sound("hh cp") ])

append() - Sequential Append

sound("bd").append("sn").append("cp")

superimpose() - Layer Transform

sound("bd sn bd sn") .superimpose(x => x.fast(2).up(12))

overlay() - Layer Simultaneous

sound("bd ~ bd ~") .overlay("~ sn ~ sn")

layer() - Multiple Layers

layer([ sound("bd ~ bd ~"), sound("~ sn ~ sn"), sound("hh hh hh hh").gain(0.3) ])
🔥 Advanced Combos

Epic Live Coding Pattern

sound("bd sn cp hh") .every(4, x => x.fast(2)) .superimpose(x => x.up(12).vowel("i")) .overlay("arpy arpy*4") .note("c e g a") .lpf(800) .reverb(0.3)

Complex Multi-Layer

stack([ sound("bd ~ bd ~") .every(8, x => x.fast(2)) .sometimes(x => x.distortion(3)), sound("~ sn ~ sn") .superimpose(x => x.delay(0.125)) .often(x => x.gain(1.2)), sound("hh*4") .rarely(x => x.rev()) .lpf(1200) .gain(0.4) ])

Melodic + Rhythmic Combo

layer([ sound("arpy").note("c e g c") .superimpose(x => x.up(12).vowel("i")) .every(4, x => x.fast(1.5)) .reverb(0.4), sound("bd sn bd sn") .overlay("hh hh hh hh") .sometimes(x => x.crush(6)) ])

✅ Phase 1 Functions (34/34):

  • Patterns: sound(), n(), note(), up(), freq(), midinote()
  • Time: fast(), slow(), rev(), density(), every(), sometimes(), often(), rarely(), almostNever(), almostAlways(), whenmod()
  • Effects: gain(), pan(), lpf(), hpf(), bpf(), delay(), reverb(), distortion(), crush(), vowel()
  • Compose: stack(), struct(), cat(), append(), superimpose(), overlay(), layer()

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Use every() for structured variations
  • Combine superimpose() + overlay() for complex textures
  • append() creates sequences, overlay() creates layers
  • vowel() works great with melodic patterns
  • Chain multiple sometimes() for unpredictable results
