## Pulses

## What are pulses?
|

|
|

To make a beat, you need a certain number of time grains or **pulses**. The **pulse** is also known as the [PPQN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulses_per_quarter_note). By default, Topos is using a _pulses per quarter note_ of 48. You can change it by using the <icode>ppqn(number)</icode> function. It means that the lowest possible rhythmic value is 1/48 of a quarter note. That's plenty of time already.

These values are **extremely useful** to craft more complex syntax or to write musical scores. However, Topos is also offering more high-level sequencing functions to make it easier to play music.
