I’m very much a noob still, but up for a challenge! :smiley:

I’ll try again to get it working. First attempt failed. Disappointing. The older version of tidal was quite fun.

I somehow had an embarassingly hard time getting tidal/superdirt running. Especially making supercollider run superdirt - everything worked fine when I ran quark install process through scide (rather than trying through sclang). Once things were ‘set up’ I had no problems starting & running superdirt through sclang/emacs. (supercollider 3.8.0)

Also I can confirm tidal should install cleanly using “cabal install tidal” with bleeding edge arch linux packages for cabal & haskell (haskell 8.0.1 & cabal 1.24.0.0). With some random older haskell version (installed to play with clash) things wouldn’t install/run correctly…

Haskell is up to date and cabal install tidal worked fine. My problem is with getting SC to run superdirt (says the port is already in use, no matter which port I tell it to use). First I’ve heard of using scide to do the install, maybe that’s what i need to do.

EDIT: I did a dumb thing with my tractor this morning. You folks are so helpful, I’m tempted to ask for tips on that too. :wink:

Oh! Got it working.

here goes nothing:
d2 $ sound "arpy [~ [[arpy ! ! arpy*6]/4 ~]]/2 [~ arpy] arpy/3" # up "[1 [2 5 [5 7]*13]/6 [[8 3] [8 3]*2 [3 8]]/3 3]" # nudge "[0 0.022]*4"

(in response to @jasonw22’s tabla part)

Just noticed a typo in my tabla part. Fixed it and messed around some more and now it just annoys me, so I’d replace it with this, which goes more nicely with @rick_monster’s arpy part.

sound "bass:02*12" # up "[1 [2 5 [5 7]*13]/6 [[8 3] [8 3]*2 [3 8]]/3 3]" # nudge "[0 0.022]*4"

Aww, @tidalbot doesn’t seem to be responsive at the moment.

tweaked that code against the bassline, but it seems to run better against the “typo tabla”…

weee!

last round - arpy’s revenge!

Wow, this is awesome! Never heard of tidal before, but its a lot of fun. Anyone want to go? Here’s a start (careful gain is up for distortion):

d1 $ every 2 (|+| speed "0.5") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (rev) $ every 4 (|=| speed "13") $ sometimesBy 0.1 (slow 2) $ sound "[bd bd bd, sn cp sn cp, can(3,4)]" # crush "8" # gain "5.0"

Its on…

(something something 20 char)

I know you said “last round” but while I was waiting I got a bit, erm, obsessed, and ended up with this (added your new line to the end, with a little gain adjustment).

d1 $ spread (slow) [3, 0.5, 0.75, 1] $ stack [sound "bottle ~ ~ chink ~ glasstap"] # gain "[0.5 0.7]/2" # room "1" # n (irand 8) d2 $ stack [every 5 (density 4) $ sound "sn:4 [~ [sn:4 ~ ~ ~]/8] ~ ~", sound "~ ~~ [~ bd]/4 [bd [~ bd]/2]/2" # nudge "[-0.075 0.075]*2"] # gain "[0.5 0.7]/2" d3 $ (spread' slow "1%4 4 3 5" $ spread (striate) [2,3,4,1] $ sound $ samples "pluck" (run 17)) # gain "[0.7 1 0.5]/3" # room "1" # speed "[1 2 1 1]/2" d4 $ every 4 (density 2) $ (sound $ samples "newnotes*15" (run 8)) # room "1" # gain "[0.3 0.5]/2" d5 $ sound "arpy(3,5)" # nudge "[0.1 -0.05]" # up "[1 [8 7.8 7.6] -3 [3.5 3.45 3.4]]*2/7" # gain "[0 0.8 ! ! 0 0.7 0.85 0 0.75 !]/7"

This is way too much fun. I’m ready to go again!

That is so cool - pretty blown away by the reveal! Guess I could attempt an performance/arrangement/mix for the bonus round…

@glia You can take the gain down to a normal level on the one I did above, or we can start from scratch if you want.
