## Functions that create Patterns
## Pattern Factories
The following functions will return a pattern. We will see later what that means.
The following functions will return a pattern.
## pure(value)
To create a pattern from a value, you can wrap the value in pure:
<MiniRepl tune={`pure('e4')`} />
{{ 'pure' | jsdoc }}
Most of the time, you won't need that function as input values of pattern creating functions are purified by default.
### cat(...values)
{{ 'cat' | jsdoc }}
The given items are con**cat**enated, where each one takes one cycle:
{{ 'seq' | jsdoc }}
<MiniRepl tune={`cat(e5, b4, [d5, c5])`} />
{{ 'stack' | jsdoc }}
- Square brackets will create a subsequence
- The function **slowcat** does the same as **cat**.
### seq(...values)
Like **cat**, but the items are crammed into one cycle:
<MiniRepl tune={`seq(e5, b4, [d5, c5])`} />
- Synonyms: **fastcat**, **sequence**
### stack(...values)
The given items are played at the same time at the same length:
<MiniRepl tune={`stack(g3, b3, [e4, d4])`} />
- Square Brackets will create a subsequence
### Nesting functions
You can nest functions inside one another:
<MiniRepl
tune={`cat(
stack(g3,b3,e4),
stack(a3,c3,e4),
stack(b3,d3,fs4),
stack(b3,e4,g4)
)`}
/>
The above is equivalent to
<MiniRepl tune={`"<[g3,b3,e4] [a3,c3,e4] [b3,d3,f#4] [b3,e4,g4]>"`} />
### timeCat(...[weight,value])
Like with "@" in mini notation, we can specify weights to the items in a sequence:
<MiniRepl tune={`timeCat([3,e3],[1, g3])`} />
{{ 'timeCat' | jsdoc }}

You can also use the shorthand **pr** instead of **polyrhythm**.
-->
## Combining Patterns
You can freely mix JS patterns, mini patterns and values! For example, this pattern:
<MiniRepl
tune={`cat(
stack(g3,b3,e4),
stack(a3,c3,e4),
stack(b3,d3,fs4),
stack(b3,e4,g4)
)`}
/>
...is equivalent to:
<MiniRepl
tune={`cat(
"g3,b3,e4",
"a3,c3,e4",
"b3,d3,f#4",
"b3,e4,g4"
)`}
/>
... as well as:
<MiniRepl tune={`"<[g3,b3,e4] [a3,c3,e4] [b3,d3,f#4] [b3,e4,g4]>"`} />
While mini notation is almost always shorter, it only has a handful of modifiers: \* / ! @.
When using JS patterns, there is a lot more you can do.
## Time Modifiers

Applies the given structure to the pattern:
<MiniRepl tune={`"c3,eb3,g3".struct("x ~ x ~ ~ x ~ x ~ ~ ~ x ~ x ~ ~").slow(4)`} />
This is also useful to sample signals:

tune={`sine.struct("x ~ x ~ ~ x ~ x ~ ~ ~ x ~ x ~ ~").mul(7).round()
.scale('C minor').slow(4)`}

## Continuous Signals
Signals are patterns with continuous values, meaning they have theoretically infinite steps.
They can provide streams of numbers that can be sampled at discrete points in time.
