Ok @glia @rbxbx we’re now a trio. I’ve combined everything we’ve done so far with randcat, its getting pretty crazy:

d1 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.2 (rev) $ every 3 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ randcat [sound "[~ ~ ~, ~ bottle]", sound "[bd:5*2 can:5*2/3 cp?, tabla:1/2]"] # delay "8" # gain "5.0 .3 1.7" d2 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (rev) $ every 4 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ randcat [sound "[bd bd:4 bd:3, sn hh sn cp, can(3,4)]", sound "[drum(5,2) can:3, sid:3? hh cp, can?(3,4)]"] # crush "8" # gain "5.0"

I did! Really inspiring set up
Many thanks to @yaxu for this sweet enviroment. Now I’m slowly making my way through the tutorial, but honestly having much more fun making small tweaks to the codes posted about. I’d say in about a day or so I’ll get my confidence up and call someone out

[/quote]this is my zone
similar to sitting with a looped synth sequence and messing with a sampler or delay to warp everything

way easier than actually conjuring up my own functional strings

Am I the only one thinking about ‘transposing’ their favourite drummers into tidal patterns? Could be an interesting exercise to hone tidal chops & make the practice of coding less ‘happy accidents’ more ‘vocabulary’. Definitely would be a workout for the ears!

Yeah, that’s a good thought. I can’t say I’ve really gotten to the point where I think of tidal code the way i think about notation.

But I wouldn’t really want it to be a 1:1 translation anyway. tidal code can be so much more terse than notation. I see that as a good thing.

[/quote]nope

meant to with teletype but always get distracted by happy accidents

this drummer mapping thing could be an interesting sub-challenge…post a short rhythm and challenge the other person with replicating the basic structure

#63

Yes I think tidal is all about happy accidents !
But might be interesting to hear about what particular drummers do and see if that can be abstracted into a function

That said here’s a pattern I made that I called ‘jones’ after listening to Sarah Jones playing with Hot Chip

d1 $ sometimes (rev . chop 8) $ sometimes (|+| speed "2") $
      jux (0.25 <~) $ sound (samples "[ifdrums*8, future*8]" (run 8))
      # nudge "[0 0.04]*4" # shape "0.4"

Probably doesn’t sound anything like her but I was trying to capture that natural feel she brings.

(not to say that tidal can’t be about notating things for other people! would be v interested to see how that goes)

And for a second [decidedly housier] evolution:

d1 $ every 3 ((1%4) <~) $ every 7 (|=| up "7 7 0 12 9") $ n (run 6) # s "[sid(5, 9), [can*3 bottle*4 bd*3 can*5]/4]" |=| up "0 7 5 3 3" # crush "8 4 8 2"
d2 $ sound "bd bd bd bd"
d3 $ slow 0.5 $ sound "~ hh ~ hh" # crush "8"

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong but the delay line is pretty weird and glitchy and bugs out on my machine with some frequency. I kind of don’t mind it though :slight_smile:

@glia IT was getting pretty crazy anyways, after adding everything together. Love the changes you made to my original line!

Just installed TidalCycles to tinker with. Funny to put some of these lines in to listen to. Any places I should go for good tutorials, articles, essays. I see a fair amount on the TidalCycles website, but figured there may be some other spots for good info.

Thanks!
