## Advanced Pattern Features
Strudel supports several advanced features for complex live coding:
**Named Patterns**: Use `$name:` syntax to create referenceable patterns (e.g., `$bass: n("0 2 4").sound("sawtooth")`), enabling pattern manipulation and live control.
**Precise Tempo Control**: `setCps(bpm/60/4)` provides more accurate tempo setting than basic BPM values, essential for precise synchronization.
**Pattern Visualization**: `._scope()` method enables visual feedback for patterns, useful for live performance monitoring.
**Mathematical Operations**: `.sub(n)` subtracts semitones, `.seg(n)` creates segmented phrases, `irand(n)` generates random integers for algorithmic composition.
**Orbit Management**: Explicit `.orbit(n)` assignment routes patterns to specific effect chains, enabling complex audio routing and independent processing.
**Interactive Elements**: Strudel supports embedding interactive controls directly in code, allowing real-time parameter manipulation during performance.
These features enable sophisticated composition techniques beyond basic sequencing, supporting professional live coding performance.
