Hello, sonic pi lovers! I am recently new to the world of sonic pi and was wondering if there is a way to play multiple play\_pattern\_timed simultaneously?

Yes, just put them in individual threads and they play at the same time eg

```ruby
in_thread do
  play_pattern_timed scale(:c4,:major),[0.2],release: 0.2
end
in_thread do
  play_pattern_timed scale(:c6,:major),[0.2],release: 0.2
end

```
