341
- <Note note="E4" filter={{ cutoff: { from: 60, to: 120, steps: 8 } }} />
342
- <Note note="G4" filter={{ cutoff: { from: 60, to: 120, steps: 8 } }} />
343
- {/* ... */}
344
- </Sequence>;

332
+ ## Line Patterns
333
+
334

335
+ Line patterns for dynamic filter sweeps within a `<Sequence>`:
336
+
337
+ ```tsx
338
+ <Sequence interval={0.25}>
339
+ {/* Filter sweeps from 60 to 120 over 8 steps */}
340
+ <Note note="C4" filter={{ cutoff: { from: 60, to: 120, steps: 8 } }} />
341
+ <Note note="E4" filter={{ cutoff: { from: 60, to: 120, steps: 8 } }} />
342
+ <Note note="G4" filter={{ cutoff: { from: 60, to: 120, steps: 8 } }} />
343
+ {/* ... */}
344
+ </Sequence>;
345
+ ```
346
+
347
+ | Property | Type | Description |
348
+ | -------- | --------- | --------------------------------- |
349
+ | `from` | `number` | Starting cutoff value (MIDI note) |
350
+ | `to` | `number` | Ending cutoff value (MIDI note) |
351
+ | `steps` | `number` | Number of interpolation steps |
352
