scramble :: Int -> Pattern a -> Pattern a

scramble n p divides the pattern p into n equal parts, and then creates a new pattern each cycle by randomly selecting from the parts. This could also be called "sampling with replacement". For example,

d1 $ sound $ scramble 3 "bd sn hh"

{: .render }

will sometimes play "sn bd hh" or "hh sn bd", but can also play "bd sn bd" or "hh hh hh", because it can make any random combination of the three parts.
