TidalCycles log of changes

1.0.8 (trying to get back to doing these,

see also https://tidalcycles.org/index.php/Changes_in_Tidal_1.0.x

for earlier stuff)

  • Add ‘to’, ‘toArg’ and ‘from’ controls for new superdirt routing experiments - @telephon
  • Fixes for squeezeJoin (nee unwrap’) - @bgold-cosmos
  • Simplify cycleChoose, it is now properly discrete (one event per cycle) - @yaxu
  • The return of <>, infix alias for overlay - @yaxu
  • Fix for wedge to allow 0 and 1 as first parameter - @XiNNiW
  • Support for new spectral fx - @madskjeldgaard
  • Fix for _euclidInv - @dktr0
  • chordList for listing chords - @XiNNiW
  • new function soak - @XiNNiW
  • tempo fixes - @bgold-cosmos
  • miniTidal developments - @dktr0
  • potentially more efficient euclidean patternings - @dktr0
  • unit tests for euclid - @yaxu
  • fix for sometimesBy - @yaxu

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 for midinote, but an independent parameter for supercollider to handle (in a manner similar to up)

0.9.6

Enhancements

  • Added chord for chord patterns and scaleP 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 to sound "bd sn". They aren’t lists though, so you can’t for example do sound (["bd", "sn"] ++ ["arpy", "cp"]) – but can do sound (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 the release parameter, to match the att alias for attack
  • _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.
