Squash and repeat time

density  d (density)

Runs the block d times with the bpm for the block also multiplied by d. Great for repeating sections a number of times faster yet keeping within a fixed time. If d is less than 1, then time will be stretched accordingly and the block will take longer to complete.

Introduced in v2.3

Examples

# Example 1

use_bpm 60  
  density 2 do      
                    
    sample :bd_haus
    sleep 0.5       
  end

# Set the BPM to 60
# BPM for block is now 120
# block is called 2.times
# sample is played twice
# sleep is 0.25s

# Example 2

density 2 do |idx|
    puts idx        
    sleep 0.5       
  end

# You may also pass a param to the block similar to n.times
# prints out 0, 1
# sleep is 0.25s

# Example 3

density 0.5 do         
                         
                         
    play 80, release: 1  
    sleep 0.5            
  end

# Specifying a density val of < 1 will stretch out time
# A density of 0.5 will double the length of the block's
# execution time.
# plays note 80 with 2s release
# sleep is 1s
