# Time Modifiers

The following functions modify a pattern temporal structure in some way.

Some of these have equivalent operators in the Mini Notation:

| function               | mini         |

| ---------------------- | ------------ |

| `"x".slow(2)`          | `"x/2"`      |

| `"x".fast(2)`          | `"x*2"`      |

| `"x".euclid(3,8)`      | `"x(3,8)"`   |

| `"x".euclidRot(3,8,1)` | `"x(3,8,1)"` |
