And how about this one, which uses pattern ‘masks’ to apply fills with variations, all of which can be edited live.

#Drumkit with mask variations

live_loop :drumtest do
  cue :bar
  sleep 4
end

define :r0 do
  "1---2x--3---4-x-".ring.tick(:r0)=="x" and one_in(2)
end

define :r1 do
  "1---2---3---4xxx".ring.tick(:r1)=="x" and one_in(2)
end

  s = [:drum_bass_hard,
       :drum_snare_hard,
