+# Build Arpeggios
+
+This page will teach you how to get started writing arpeggios using different techniques. It is a good way to learn Strudel in a more intuitive way.
+
+## Arpeggios from notes
+
+Start with a simple sequence of notes:
+
+<MiniRepl tune={`note("c a f e").piano().slow(2)`} client:idle />
+
+Now, let's play one per cycle:
+
+<MiniRepl tune={`note("<c a f e>").piano().slow(2)`} client:idle />
+
+On top of that, put a copy of the sequence, offset in time and pitch:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  tune={`"<c a f e>".off(1/8, add(7))
+  .note().piano().slow(2)`}
+  client:idle
+/>
+
+Add some structure to the original sequence:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  tune={`"<c*2 a(3,8) f(3,8,2) e*2>"
+  .off(1/8, add(7))
+  .note().piano().slow(2)`}
+  client:idle
+/>
+
+Reverse in one speaker:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  tune={`"<c*2 a(3,8) f(3,8,2) e*2>"
+  .off(1/8, add(7))
+  .note().piano()
+  .jux(rev).slow(2)`}
+  client:idle
+/>
+
+Let's add another layer:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  tune={`"<c*2 a(3,8) f(3,8,2) e*2>"
+  .off(1/8, add(7))
+  .off(1/8, add(12))
+  .note().piano()
+  .jux(rev).slow(2)`}
+  client:idle
+/>
+
+- added slow(2) to approximate tidals cps
+- n was replaced with note, because using n does not work as note for samples
+- legato 2 was removed because it does not work in combination with rev (bug)

+# Build Rhythms
+
+This page will teach you how to get started writing rhythms using different techniques. It is a good way to learn Strudel in a more intuitive way.
+
+## From a simple to a complex rhythm
+
+Simple bass drum - snare:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`s("bd sd").slow(2)`} />
+
+Let's pick a different snare sample:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`s("bd sd:3").slow(2)`} />
+
+Now, we are going to change the rhythm:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`s("bd*2 [~ sd:3]").slow(2)`} />
+
+And add some toms:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`s("bd*2 [[~ lt] sd:3] lt:1 [ht mt*2]").slow(2)`} />
+
+Start to transform, shift a quarter cycle every other cycle:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:idle
+  tune={`s("bd*2 [[~ lt] sd:3] lt:1 [ht mt*2]")
+.every(2, early(.25)).slow(2)`}
+/>
+
+Pattern the shift amount:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:idle
+  tune={`s("bd*2 [[~ lt] sd:3] lt:1 [ht mt*2]")
+.every(2, early("<.25 .125 .5>")).slow(2)`}
+/>
+
+Add some patterned effects:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:idle
+  tune={`s("bd*2 [[~ lt] sd:3] lt:1 [ht mt*2]")
+.every(2, early("<.25 .125 .5>"))
+.shape("<0 .5 .3>")
+.room(saw.range(0,.2).slow(4))
+.slow(2)`}
+/>
+
+More transformation:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:idle
+  tune={`s("bd*2 [[~ lt] sd:3] lt:1 [ht mt*2]")
+.every(2, early("<.25 .125 .5>"))
+.shape("<0 .5 .3>")
+.room(saw.range(0,.2).slow(4))
+.jux(id, rev, x=>x.speed(2))
+.slow(2)`}
+/>
+
+## Another rhythmic construction
+
+Let's start with a sequence:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`n("0 0 [2 0] [2 3]").s("feel").speed(1.5).slow(2)`} />
+
+We add a bit of flavour:
+
+<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`n("0 <0 4> [2 0] [2 3]").s("feel").speed(1.5).slow(2)`} />
+
+Swap the samples round every other cycle:
