Ply & Off

Ply & Off

ply repeats each step several times; off plays a second, shifted version of the pattern.

Ply - repeat each step

ply(2) plays every element twice:

ply(4) plays each element four times:

Ply with a pattern

The ply amount can be a pattern too:

Off - add a shifted copy

off(1, fn) plays the pattern, plus a copy shifted by 1 unit with fn applied:

The copy is shifted in time and played twice as fast.

Off to create fills

off is great for creating variations that answer the main pattern.

TL;DR

• ply(n) repeats each step n times.
• off(1, fn) plays a shifted copy with fn applied.
• Both accept patterns for dynamic results.
