superclass: ListPattern

Embed one item from the list at random for each repeat.

(

var a, b;

a = Prand([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 6); // return 6 items

b = a.asStream;

7.do({ b.next.postln; });

)

// return also a subpattern:

(

var a, b;

a = Prand([1, Pseq([10, 20, 30]), 2, 3, 4, 5], 6); // return 6 items

b = a.asStream;

7.do({ b.next.postln; });

)

Prand used as a sequence of pitches:

(

SynthDef(\help_sinegrain,

{ arg out=0, freq=440, sustain=0.05;

var env;

env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain, 0.2), doneAction:2);

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, env))

}).add;

)

(

a = Prand(#[60, 61, 63, 65, 72], inf).asStream;

Routine({

loop({

Synth(\help_sinegrain, [\freq, a.next.midicps]);

0.2.wait;

})

}).play;
