//Create a synthdef
SynthDef(\name, { arg freq=440;
  Out.ar([0,1], SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, Line.kr(0.5, 0, 0.5, doneAction:2)))
}).add;

Synth(\name, [\freq, 220]);

//Create a pattern
Pdef(\pattern,
  Pbind(\instrument, \name, \dur, 0.15, \degree, Pseq([5, 3, 1], inf))
).quant_(1.85);
Pdef(\pattern).play;

/*
* Pseq - plays values in array sequentially.
* Prand - plays values in array randomly.
* Pkey - copies sequence from supplied key (eg. Pkey(\degree))
* Pshuf - play values in array shuffled.
* \degree is the degree of the scale, you can also use freq or midinote
* quant_ syncs to clock of a bar lasting 1.85 seconds
