loopAt
From TidalCycles userbase
Type: loopAt :: Pattern Time -> ControlPattern -> ControlPattern
loopAt makes sample fit the given number of cycles. Internally, it works by setting the unit control to "c", changing the playback speed of the sample with the speed parameter, and setting the density of the pattern to match.
d1 $ loopAt 4 $ sound "breaks125"It’s a good idea to use this in conjuction with chop, so the break is chopped into pieces and you don’t have to wait for the whole sample to start/stop.
d1 $ loopAt 4 $ chop 32 $ sound "breaks125"Like all tidal functions, you can mess about with this considerably. The below example shows how you can supply a pattern of cycle counts to loopAt:
d1 $ juxBy 0.6 (|* speed "2") $ loopAt "<4 6 2 3>" $ chop 12 $ sound "fm:14"See also: chop
