Jux - Add an Opposite Copy

jux is short for juxtapose. It plays your pattern, plus a copy that is reversed, panned differently, etc.

Pan it left and right

jux(rev) plays the pattern, and a reversed copy panned to the opposite side:


strudel
sound("bd hh sd hh").jux(rev).room(0.5)

The left ear hears the original, the right ear hears the reversed copy.

Jux with an effect


strudel
sound("bd hh sd hh").jux(rev).lpf(800).room(0.5)

Try different jux functions

  • jux(rev) - reversed copy.
  • jux(byR(2)) - shifted copy.
  • jux(slow(2)) - slower copy.
  • jux(fast(2)) - faster copy.

strudel
sound("bd hh sd hh").jux(slow(2)).room(0.5)

How jux works

  • Takes a function (like rev).
  • Plays the normal pattern + a processed copy.
  • Pans the copy to the opposite stereo side.

TL;DR

  • jux(fn) plays the pattern plus a processed copy on the other side.
  • jux(rev), jux(slow(2)), jux(fast(2)) all work.
  • Great for widening stereo and adding interest.
