@ -243,23 +247,136 @@ Just like anything, we can automate the scale with a pattern:
<MiniRepl

client:visible
tune={`n("0, 2 4 <[6,8] [7,9]>")
.scale("<C:major F:lydian>/2")
tune={`n("<0 -3>, 2 4 <[6,8] [7,9]>")

<Box>
If you have no idea what these scale mean, don't worry.
These are just labels for different sets of notes that go well together.
Take your time and you'll find scales you like!
</Box>
## Repeat & Elongate
**Elongate with @**
<MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("c@3 eb").sound("gm_acoustic_bass")`} punchcard />
<Box>
Not using `@` is like using `@1`. In the above example, c is 3 units long and eb is 1 unit long.
Try changing that number!
</Box>
**Elongate within sub-sequences**
<MiniRepl
hideHeader
client:visible
tune={`n("<[4@2 4] [5@2 5] [6@2 6] [5@2 5]>*2")
.scale("<C2:mixolydian F2:mixolydian>/4")
.sound("gm_acoustic_bass")`}

<Box>
This groove is called a `shuffle`.
Each beat has two notes, where the first is twice as long as the second.
This is also sometimes called triplet swing. You'll often find it in blues and jazz.
</Box>
**Replicate**
<MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("c!2 [eb,<g a bb a>]").sound("piano")`} punchcard />
<Box>
Try switching between `!`, `*` and `@`
What's the difference?

## Recap
Let's recap what we've learned in this chapter:
| Concept | Syntax | Example |
| --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Slow down | \/ | <MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("[c a f e]/2")`} /> |
| Alternate | \<\> | <MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("c <e g>")`} /> |
| Elongate | @ | <MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("c@3 e")`} /> |
| Replicate | ! | <MiniRepl hideHeader client:visible tune={`note("c!3 e")`} /> |
## Examples
**Classy Bassline**
<MiniRepl
hideHeader
client:visible
tune={`note("<[c2 c3]*4 [bb1 bb2]*4 [f2 f3]*4 [eb2 eb3]*4>/2")
.sound("gm_synth_bass_1")`}
.sound("gm_synth_bass_1")
.lpf(800) // <-- we'll learn about this soon`}
/>
**Classy Melody**
<MiniRepl
hideHeader
client:visible
tune={`note("[0 12]*2".add("<36 34 41 39>/2"))
.sound("gm_synth_bass_1")`}
tune={`n(\`<

>*2\`).scale("C4:minor")
.sound("gm_synth_strings_1")`}

**Classy Drums**
<MiniRepl
hideHeader

tune={`sound("bd*2, ~ <sd cp>, [~ hh]*2")

**If there just was a way to play all the above at the same time.......**

It's called `stack` 😙

This is starting to sound like actual music! We have sounds, we have notes, now the last piece of the puzzle is missing: [effects](/workshop/first-effects)
