Hi

This is my TidalCycles configuration repo

1. Clone this repo
2. Make a symlink from /home/tidal to the root folder (eg. /home/you/git/libtidal)
   • ln -s /home/you/git/libtidal /home/tidal
3. Break stuff

Then, you can import my lib from your boot.tidal by adding :script /home/tidal/boot.tidal to it. Or the other way around

Chapters

0. Boot

Implements tonal, setkey and t:

• tonal root mode: wrapper for note, played in the key signature defined by root and mode
• setkey root mode: sets the global_root and global_mode global dictionary entries, to later be read by t
• t: wrapper for tonal, bound to the global key (defined by setkey)

1. Varargs

Attempts to write something like stack "~ sn" "bd" instead of stack ["~ sn", "bd"].

Functions:

• l: l a b c ... == [a, b, c, ...]

2. Mixer

These are wrappers to help when using Open Stage Control:

• fx i: Receives osc signal at "f<i>", used for effects faders
• vx i: Receives osc signal at "v<i>", used for volume faders

3. Rhythm

I'm working on a way to store rhythms. Right now the file exports a rhythm dictionary which you can use like this:

p "percussion" $ rs "house" ["bd", "sn", "ho", "hh"]

-- or: p "percussion" $ rs "house" (l "bd" "sn" "ho" "hh")

Functions:

• rs (to be deprecated):
• r: used to read a rhythm from the global dictionary (eg. r "house" ["bd", "sn"])
• dr: short for define rhythm, used to push a rhythm into the global dictionary

4. UX

WIP

5. Instruments

Some stuff I used on isohedra mostly. Try them out! Functions: piano: superpiano with some fx vibe: supervibe with some fx gretsch: gretsch kit with some fx

6. Song
