pattrns pattrns is an experimental imperative-style music sequence generator engine. It allows you to programmatically create music sequences either in plain Rust as library (static, compiled) or in Lua as a scripting engine (dynamic, interpreted). So it's also suitable for live coding music. In addition to its imperative event generator approach, it also supports the creation of musical events using tidalcycle's mini-notation. This crate only deals with the generation of raw musical events.
