This pattern is mainly used in two cases:

using an event pattern as a stream directly

a = Pbind(\note, Prand([1, 2, 3], inf)).asStream; a.next; // returns nil a = Pevent(Pbind(\note, Prand([1, 2, 3], inf))).asStream; a.next; // returns an event

setting some default values before they are processed by the pattern

Pevent(Pbind(\harmonic, Pseq([24, 25, 29, 30], inf)), (octave: 3, dur: 0.2)).trace.play;

Pevent is a simpler form of Pchain, so that these are equivalent:Pevent(pattern, event) Pchain(pattern, event) pattern <> event

By contrast to Pchain, Pevent uses an Event: *default if nothing is provided.
