+# Strudel Rhythmic Patterns & Techniques
+
+## 1. Essential Rhythms
+
+### 4-on-the-floor
+`"bd*4"` - Standard house/techno kick.
+
+### Syncopated Hats
+`"- hh - hh"` or `"- [hh|oh] - hh"` - Classic off-beat hi-hats.
+
+### Euclidean Rhythms
+- `s("bd(3,8)")` - 3 beats in 8 steps (Tresillo).
+- `s("bd(5,8)")` - 5 beats in 8 steps.
+- `s("rim(3,8)").euclidRot(1)` - Rotated Euclidean rhythm.
+
+### Polyrhythms
+`stack(s("bd*4"), s("hh*6"))` - 4 against 6.
+
+## 2. Advanced Techniques
+
+### Jux & Iter
+`.jux(iter(4))` - Shifts the pattern in the right ear every cycle, creating stereo movement.
+
+### Randomization
+- `s("bd|sd|hh")` - Random choice per cycle.
+- `s("bd?0.5")` - 50% chance to play.
+- `.scramble(4)` - Randomly reorders 4 subdivisions.
+
+### Filter Sweeps
+- `.lpf(sine.range(200, 4000).slow(4))` - Smooth low-pass filter sweep.
+- `.hpf(sawtooth.range(40, 2000).slow(8))` - Rising high-pass filter.
+
+### Glitch & Stutter
+- `.ply(2)` - Repeats each event twice.
+- `.chop(8)` - Divides events into 8 tiny pieces.
+- `.striate(16)` - Granular effect.
