Conditional Modifiers

lastOf

Applies the given function every n cycles, starting from the last cycle.

  • n (number): how many cycles
  • func (function): function to apply
note("c3 d3 e3 g3").lastOf(4, x=>x.rev())

firstOf

Applies the given function every n cycles, starting from the first cycle.

  • n (number): how many cycles
  • func (function): function to apply
note("c3 d3 e3 g3").firstOf(4, x=>x.rev())

when

Applies the given function whenever the given pattern is in a true state.

  • binary_pat (Pattern):
  • func (function): 
"c3 eb3 g3".when("<0 1>/2", x=>x.sub(5)).note()

chunk

Divides a pattern into a given number of parts, then cycles through those parts in turn, applying the given function to each part in turn (one part per cycle).

    "0 1 2 3".chunk(4, x=>x.add(7)).scale('A minor').note()

    chunkBack

    Synonyms: chunkback

    Like chunk, but cycles through the parts in reverse order. Known as chunk' in tidalcycles

      "0 1 2 3".chunkBack(4, x=>x.add(7)).scale('A minor').note()

      arp

      arpWith 🧪

      struct

      mask

      reset

      restart

      hush

      Silences a pattern.

        stack(
  s("bd").hush(),
  s("hh*3")
)

        invert

        Synonyms: inv

        Swaps 1s and 0s in a binary pattern.

          s("bd").struct("1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0".lastOf(4, invert))
