chop and striate slice a sample into n pieces; striate interleaves slices from multiple samples where chop plays each sample's slices sequentially

Both chop n and striate n divide a sample into n equal slices. With a single sample they sound similar, but with multiple samples they differ: chop plays all slices of the first sample then all of the second; striate interleaves — first slice of sample A, first slice of sample B, second of A, second of B, etc. loopAt n stretches the chopped/striated result to fit n cycles. This is the standard way to pitch-correct break loops to a tempo. Larger striate values create finer granulation effects.

Examples

d1 $ loopAt 2 $ chop 4 $ sound "break:8" — 4-slice break over 2 cycles. d1 $ loopAt 2 $ striate 4 $ sound "break:8 break:9" — slices of both breaks interleaved.

Assessment

Write a pattern that uses striate to blend two break samples. How does increasing the striate number change the texture?
