@aeskildsen Time as seed. Stochastic operations are always pseudo random and actually deterministic so let’s use that for time travel. Choose a seed for the beginning and then change it when you don’t like what you hear. Fast forward or skip the two seconds you did not like. With this feature a piece can have a prequel.

@aeskildsen I’ll do one more, but this is my second ask, so not as important to me: Streams not events. Interfacing I imagine to be largely the same as with events. Ask for a welch interpolation between two values over 90 seconds the same as with events. The only difference is that you now have individual time resolution for each parameter. Parameters that are scheduled to change immediately are still single event. Many clock rates underneath is another way to try to explain.

@t36s Thank you for chiming in! If you know Sonic Pi, that’s actually somewhat similar to what @samaaron does there. SC also lets you set seed values, I believe, though I haven’t used it myself. But let me understand better: Is the ambition to set seed values per pattern/stream ad hoc? Maybe reuse that seed to get repeated streams per n cycles/bars? Then change the seed whenever you want?
