[Fluxus] delay

[Damaru]

Well I tough I was illiterate in fluxus, but now I am sure of it ;)

you are right I want to slow down the generation of the pattern, in an 
exponential way so that the generation start fast and ease out, slowing 
down toward the end. So iteration 1 would have a 0.1 delay then 0.11 or 
something like that.

I don't understand the usage of seed in there, and I am not sure why the 
code you added is located there (and not in the actual pattern 
generation). Is there a fluxus example I could toy with ? The code you 
modify couldn't be run as is..

thanks again
