trunc

Type: trunc :: Pattern Time -> Pattern a -> Pattern a

trunc truncates a pattern so that only a fraction of the pattern is played. The following example plays only the first three quarters of the pattern:

d1 $ trunc 0.75 $ sound "bd sn*2 cp hh*4 arpy bd*2 cp bd*2"

You can also pattern the first parameter, for example to cycle through three values, one per cycle:

d1 $ trunc "<0.75 0.25 1>" $ sound "bd sn:2 [mt rs] hc"
