Instruments

cmd	instrument	channel
=g	gate	channel arg
=p	pitch	channel arg
=k	kick	8
=t	tom	9
=m	tom 2	10
=s	snare	11
=c	clap	12
=x	closed	13
=o	open	14

Channels zero-based. 8 is the first expander output.

Pitch + gate

Addressed by output channel:

=p args

arg	meaning
0	pitch output channel
1	note, base36; C = 12
2	octave, 0-9
3	slide, 10 ms steps
4	nudge, 2 ms steps, positive = later

=g args

arg	meaning
0	gate output channel
1	value; 0 = off, non-zero = on
2	duration; 0/omitted/Z = hold, 1-Y = 10 ms steps
3	nudge, 2 ms steps, positive = later

Nudges are relative to message arrival. They do not know about your grid. They are just late on purpose.

---

EDO

=e: Global for pitch.

C = 12 divisions. 0 resets to 12. 1-Z = 1-35.

---

Detune

=d: Out-of-tune guitar emulator. Notes assigned to virtual strings. Each string detuned by fixed cents. /d controls scale.

0 = perfect. Z = maximum.

note	cents
0-4	-16
5-8	+9
9-13	-5
14-18	+18
19-22	-11
23+	+6

Drums

=k: Each drum fires a 5 ms pulse on its fixed channel.
