you might try something like `inhabit`, although i bet you'd have to explicitly define all your custom names...it wouldn't be dynamic if you changed the fraction value without changing your `inhabit` def first.

> Hola @yecto, You could do it with inhabit. mychords = inhabit [("hola", "[0,4,2]" :: Pattern Double), ("hello", "[0,5,7,12]") ] d1 $ n (mychords "hello hola") # s "superpiano" You have to use :: Pattern Double to tell haskell what kind of pattern you're making, but you only have to do that on one of the values, it can work out the rest.
