Himbeermuffin
These are the release notes for Strudel 0.8.0 aka "Himbeermuffin"!
Go to Tidal Club Forum for this Release
Let me write up some of the highlights:
Desktop App
Besides the REPL (https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/), Strudel is now also distributed as a Desktop App via https://tauri.app/! Thanks to vasilymilovidov!
edit: the desktop app performance on linux is currently not that great.. the web REPL runs much smoother (using firefox or chromium)
The desktop App has the same features as the webapp, with the additional ability to load samples from disk. It is currently not documented yet, but you can do something like
await samples('~/music/xxx')
s("my_sound")You have to start with ~/music/, followed by an arbitrary folder path that is expected to be present in the systems audio directory.
When you first run it, the app will create a strudel.json file in that directory to map out the available samples.
I would be very happy to collect some feedback on how it works across different platforms & systems!
Spiral Visualization
Also still undocumented, but you can now visualize patterns as a spiral via .spiral():
strudel-disk.mov
This is especially nice because strudel is not only the name of a dessert but also the german word for vortex! The spiral is very fitting to visualize cycles because you can align cycles vertically, while surfing along an infinite twisted timeline.
More settings
In the settings tab, you can now toggle:
- line numbers
- auto-complete
- line wrapping
