TidalCycles stutter repeats each event n times separated by a fixed time offset, creating manual echo-style delays

stutter n t p repeats each event in pattern p exactly n times, with consecutive copies separated by t cycles (given as a fraction). Unlike ply which fits all copies within the original slot, stutter places copies at fixed time intervals, producing an echo or flamming effect. stutter 4 (1/16) $ s "bd cp" produces four copies each offset by 1/16 of a cycle. Convenience aliases: echo = stutter 2, triple = stutter 3, quad = stutter 4, double = echo. This is equivalent to stut but without volume reduction.

Examples

d1 $ stutter 4 (1/16) $ s "bd cp"    -- 4 echoes at 1/16th intervals
d1 $ echo (1/8) $ s "cp"              -- 2 copies at 1/8 interval

Assessment

Distinguish stutter 3 (1/16) from ply 3 applied to the same pattern. What rhythmic effect do you get at stutter 8 (1/32)? When would you prefer stutter over delay-based effects?
