- The page pairs a bytebeat formula with a quarter-note kick, and lets users choose how tiled patterns handle their trailing span.
Field notes
The proposed graph uses weighted divisions for nested spans, so a section, bar, beat, or hit can be shaped through the same underlying model. The page also describes patterns tiled across a span with a user-chosen treatment for the leftover tail, and gives a concrete example combining a bytebeat formula with a quarter-note kick. These are product descriptions on an early-access page, not independently verified working features.
