title: preSample

The preSample hook runs just before your pattern is sampled.

It is triggered at the very start of either:

• the Pattern.sampleOption() method
• the Pattern.sampleMeasurement() method
• the Pattern.sampleModels() method

Your plugin will receive the Pattern object.

The preSample hook is rarely used.
