Is there a way to dynamically modulate the cps of a session with tidal functions? eg

`setcps (range 0.2 0.3 (slow 6 tri))`

Hi @speedo19,

This should work:

`d1 $ cps (segment 32 $ range 0.2 0.3 (slow 6 tri))`

By the way [https://club.tidalcycles.org](https://club.tidalcycles.org) is the most active tidal forum.
