+# Timing with at
+
+Every step has a duration. By default, sounds emit at the very start of that duration. `at` changes *when* within the step sounds fire -- giving you sub-step rhythmic control without adding more steps.
+
+## The Basics
+
+`at` drains the entire stack and stores the values as timing offsets. Each value is a fraction of the step duration: 0 = start, 0.5 = halfway, 1.0 = next step boundary.
+
+```forth
+0.5 at kick s .         ;; kick at the midpoint
+```
+
+Push multiple values before calling `at` to get multiple emits from a single `.`:
+
+```forth
+0 0.5 at kick s .       ;; two kicks: one at start, one at midpoint
+0 0.25 0.5 0.75 at hat s .   ;; four hats, evenly spaced
+```
+
+The deltas persist across multiple `.` calls until `clear` or a new `at`:
+
+```forth
+0 0.5 at
+kick s .                ;; 2 kicks
+hat s .                 ;; 2 hats (same timing)
+clear
+snare s .               ;; 1 snare (deltas cleared)
+```
+
+## Cross-product: at Without arp
+
+Without `arp`, deltas multiply with polyphonic voices. If you have 3 notes and 2 deltas, you get 6 emits -- every note at every delta:
+
+```forth
+0 0.5 at
+c4 e4 g4 note sine s .   ;; 6 emits: 3 notes x 2 deltas
+```
+
+This is a chord played twice per step.
+
+## 1:1 Pairing: at With arp
+
+`arp` changes the behavior. Instead of cross-product, deltas and arp values pair up 1:1. Each delta gets one note from the arpeggio:
+
+```forth
+0 0.33 0.66 at
+c4 e4 g4 arp note sine s .   ;; c4 at 0, e4 at 0.33, g4 at 0.66
+```
+
+If the lists differ in length, the shorter one wraps around:
+
+```forth
+0 0.25 0.5 0.75 at
+c4 e4 arp note sine s .       ;; c4, e4, c4, e4 at 4 time points
+```
+
+This is THE key distinction. Without `arp`: every note at every time. With `arp`: one note per time slot.
+
+## Generating Deltas
+
+You rarely type deltas by hand. Use generators:
+
+Evenly spaced via `.,`:
+
+```forth
+0 1 0.25 ., at hat s .        ;; 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0
+```
+
+Euclidean distribution via `euclid`:
+
+```forth
+3 8 euclid at hat s .         ;; 3 hats at positions 0, 3, 5
+```
+
+Random timing via `gen`:
+
+```forth
+{ 0.0 1.0 rand } 4 gen at hat s .   ;; 4 hats at random positions
+```
+
+Geometric spacing via `geom..`:
+
+```forth
+0.0 2.0 4 geom.. at hat s .  ;; exponentially spaced
+```
+
+## Gating at
+
+Wrap `at` expressions in quotations for conditional timing:
+
+```forth
+{ 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 at } 2 every    ;; 16th-note hats every other bar
+hat s .
+
+{ 0 0.5 at } 0.5 chance           ;; 50% chance of double-hit
+kick s .
+```
+
+When the quotation doesn't execute, no deltas are set -- you get the default single emit at beat start.
