E(7,16)

The equation

x(i) = ⌊(7i + 2)/16⌋ − ⌊(7(i − 1) + 2)/16⌋

What the equation decides

Every cowbell note lands on one of those 7 hits, with gaps of 2-3-2-2-3-2-2. That is the hook from the first second, and the 808 joins the same pattern in its home sections.

This is the notation of what the code plays. Stereo copies and octave layers share one staff, empty staves are hidden, and timing is rounded to values you can read. Pitch bends, filter moves and the rest of what the equation does to the sound can't be written here. That part you have to hear.
