I noticed sometimes that when I apply delay in one of the patterns it's applied to all running ones. Say I am doing this

```haskell
p "patname1" .... # delayfeedback 0.2

p "patname2" ....

```

`patname2` has delay too. Is there something weird with the busses in SC as a known issue?

This is because your streams with ids `patname1` and `patname2` uses the same (default) orbit 0.  
And something like delay is a so called "gobal effect" and applied to the audio result of an orbit.  
You need to specify your orbit to separate the result of the delay like:

```haskell
p "patname1" .... # delayfeedback 0.2 # orbit 0

p "patname2" .... # orbit 1

```

Now it should be clear, why d1...d'n is defined in this way:

```haskell
-- defined in BootTidal.hs
d1 = p 1 . (|< orbit 0)
d2 = p 2 . (|< orbit 1)

```

Oh I see, this may be a little bit confusing, it has to do with the orbits and their busses implementation in SuperCollider, as otherwise I don't see any point of mixing two patterns.
