2 · Make a beat

Write several sound names in the quotes, separated by spaces. Strudel squeezes them evenly into one cycle (one loop) and plays them left to right.

• Play it. That's a kick, hat, snare, hat — the bones of almost every beat.

Four little tools let you shape any rhythm:

Symbol	What it does
~	a rest (silence)
*2	play that part twice as fast
[ ]	group sounds into one slot
<>	alternate — a different one each loop

Space it outBusier hatsTwo hats in one slotChanges each loop

sound("bd ~ sd ~")

sound("bd hh*2 sd hh*2")

sound("bd [hh hh] sd hh")

sound("bd <sd cp> bd <sd oh>")

Your beat playground — edit freely:

• Add a rest with ~ somewhere, and speed one part up with *2. Play after each change.
• Make the snare alternate with a clap each loop using <sd cp>.
