--- An exploration of Just Friends' Geode

-- from maps with trent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMzM4omsIg8&ab_channel=Trent 

-- Just Type reference: https://github.com/whimsicalraps/Just-Friends/blob/main/Just-Type.md

-- mode sets rhythmic relations:

--  cycle:  rhythmic undulation to the envelope level

-- The rhythm is generated similarly to transient,

-- however the variation is applied continuously

-- (rather than in single steps of beats). -- Applying RUN voltage emphasizes every 2nd then 3rd then 4th event,

-- however all the in-between beats are available too. -- Subtle CV shifts allow for a variation of groove

-- with nothing but volume manipulation.

-- Negative RUN levels emphasize every fraction of a beat.

-- Works extra well with quantize active.

-- sustain: -- The first envelope is full volume and each one thereafter

-- will decrease in level. -- By adding a RUN voltage the rate of decay can be modified.

-- TIME & INTONE set a base envelope rate, divisions sets the

-- rhythm of notes, and RUN sets the amplitude cycle

--			relative to repeats.

--  transient: 	

--		Each output has the same level

-- RUN voltages will introduce a rhythmic variation every n repeats.

-- The TIME & INTONE controls maintain their standard free-running influence,

-- speeding up and slowing down envelopes,

-- while the rhythms are controlled remotely.

-- ii.jf.play_note( divs, repeats ) -- Play a sequence, dynamically allocated to a channel

-- ii.jf.play_voice( channel, divs, repeats ) -- Play a sequence on a specific channel

-- min divs is 1 -- sending repeats a negative number has it repeat infinitely

-- ii.jf.tick( divs ) -- Clock Geode with a stream of ticks at divs per measure

-- ii.jf.tick( bpm ) -- Set timebase for Geode with a static bpm

-- ii.jf.quantize( divisions ) -- Quantize Geode events to divisions of the timebase

j = ii.jf -- alias to address just friends with just `j`
