Drum patterns

After watching Play With Your Rythm: Drum Patterns, I was inspired to program some of these patterns in Melrōse.

Later, I decided to introduce new functions notemap and notemerge to simplify the language notation as seen in the video that better match the patterns as documented in 🔗Drum Patterns.

// Ashley's Roachclip
drum10 = merge(16,
    notemap('1 3 7 10 11',         midi(36,72)),
    notemap('5 13',                note('e2')),
    notemap('1 3 5 7 9 13 15',     midi(42,72)),
    notemap('11',                  midi(46,72)),
    notemap('1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15',  midi(54,40)),
    notemap('2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16', midi(54,100)))
lp_drum10 = loop(fraction(16,drum10))

Here is another that use extra variables to explain the sounds used.

// Its a New Day
kick=note('c2')
closehi=note('g#2')
snare=note('e2')

drum11 = merge(16,
    notemap('1 3 11 12 16'      ,kick),
    notemap('   5     13'       ,snare),
    notemap('1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15',closehi))
lp_drum11 = loop(fraction(16,drum11))
