# Pattern syntax

    [0-9A-Z]{2} [-xf012]+

# Example

    38 --x-

    36 x---

# Pattern semantics

First column:

* If it's a number it's a MIDI note, following the MIDI mapping of a Roland drum machine (like https://github.com/montoyamoraga/drum-machine-patterns#conventions-for-this-project)

* Or the General Midi mapping otherwise

* Otherwise:

  * `AC`: accent

  * `SL`: slide

Second column:

* Drums: 

  * `x`: a hit

  * `f`: a flam stroke

  * `-`: a rest

* Bass synthesizers: 

  * `0` / `-`: rest / no note

  * `1`: note

  * `2`: legato / tie (continue previous note)
