0.9.10 (and earlier missing versions from this log)
- arpg, a function to arpeggiate
- within’, an alternate within with a different approach to time, following discussion here https://github.com/tidalcycles/Tidal/issues/313
- sine et al are now generalised so can be used as double or rational patterns
- New Sound.Tidal.Simple module with a range of simple transformations (faster, slower, higher, lower, mute, etc)
- slice upgraded to take a pattern of slice indexes
- espgrid support
- lindenmayerI
- sew function, for binary switching between two patterns
- somecycles alias for someCycles
- ply function, for repeating each event in a pattern a given number of times within their original timespan
- patternify juxBy, e, e’, einv, efull, eoff
0.9.7
Enhancements
- The
note
pattern parameter is no longer an alias formidinote
, but an independent parameter for supercollider to handle (in a manner similar toup
)
0.9.6
Enhancements
- Added
chord
for chord patterns andscaleP
for scale patterns - The
n
pattern parameter is now floating point
0.9.5
Enhancements
- Added
hurry
which both speeds up the sound and the pattern by the given amount. - Added
stripe
which repeats a pattern a given number of times per cycle, with random but contiguous durations. - Added continuous function
cosine
- Turned more pattern transformation parameters into patterns - spread’, striateX, every’, inside, outside, swing
- Added experimental datatype for Xenakis sieves
- Correctly parse negative rationals
- Added
breakUp
that finds events that share the same timespan, and spreads them out during that timespan, so for example (breakUp “[bd,sn]”) gets turned into the “bd sn” - Added
fill
which ‘fills in’ gaps in one pattern with events from another.
0.9.4
Fixes
- Swapped
-
for..
in ranges as quick fix for issue with parsing negative numbers - Removed overloaded list thingie for now, unsure whether it’s worth the dependency
0.9.3
Enhancements
- The sequence parser can now expand ranges, e.g.
"0-3 4-2"
is equivalent to"[0 1 2 3] [4 3 2]"
- Sequences can now be described using list syntax, for example
sound ["bd", "sn"]
is equivalent tosound "bd sn"
. They aren’t lists though, so you can’t for example dosound (["bd", "sn"] ++ ["arpy", "cp"])
– but can dosound (append ["bd", "sn"] ["arpy", "cp"])
- New function
linger
, e.g.linger (1/4)
will only play the first quarter of the given pattern, four times to fill the cycle. discretise
now takes time value as its first parameter, not a pattern of time, which was causing problems and needs some careful thought.- a
rel
alias for therelease
parameter, to match theatt
alias forattack
_fast
alias for_density
- The start of automatic testing for a holy bug-free future
Fixes
- Fixed bug that was causing events to double up or get lost,
e.g. where
rev
was combined with certain other functions.
