<h3>start</h3>
<p>to start tidal cycles:
run 'scide' (or run the SuperCollider IDE) in terminal to start SuperCollider server
execute the following code in scide:
include("SuperDirt")
SuperDirt.start</p>
<p>open a new terminal and run tidalvim
you should now be running tidal, use ctrl+E to pass lines to tidal from vim</p>
<h3>basics</h3>
<p>when you add more sounds to each cycle, it speeds up, the time of the cycle remains constant</p>
<pre><code>----- is the buffer to super collider, there are 9 opened by default in tidal
/ --- the "command" to run
</code></pre>
<p>v v
d1 $ sound "bd:2 bd bd ~"
^ ^ ^
\ \ --- is a rest note
\ --- is the sound that is going to be played; play the 3rd (0 indexed) sound in bd
--- magical $ notation</p>
<h3>subsequences</h3>
<p>using [] we can create sub sequences that run "together" in the same step of each cycle
this can be done recursively</p>
<p>using this we can achieve nice compound time signatures:
d1 $ n "[0 2 1] [4 4 5]" # s "drum"</p>
<p>alternative notation:
d1 $ n "0 2 1 . 4 4 5" # s "drum"</p>
<p>= speeding, slowing, repeating =</p>
<ul>
<li>is the same as a subsequence (s "kick*2" == s "[kick kick]")
! is the same as repeating the sound (s "kick!2" == s "kick kick")
/ "divides" the step into n steps and alternates them </li>
</ul>
<p>we can combine these to shorten lengthy things:</p>
<p>s "[kick [lo hi]/2]*2" == s "kick lo kick hi"</p>
<h3>polyphony</h3>
<p>, allows us to have multiple "tracks" in the same pattern but they must be in a subsequence!</p>
<p>d1 $ s "[bd sn, lo hi lo lo]"</p>
<p>d1 $ s "bd ~ sn ~"
d2 $ s "lo hi lo lo"</p>
<p>are the same</p>
<p>{} changes tidalcycles to make the steps align instead of the cycles aligning</p>
<h3>effects &amp; commands</h3>
<p>stut - create echos
example
d1 $ stut 4 0.5 (-0.1) $ s "bd sn"</p>
<h3>adding a samples directory</h3>
<p>File &gt; Open Start Up File &gt; Add line ~dirt.loadSoundFiles("path/to/directory/*");</p>
<h3>pipes</h3>
<p>|&gt; is the same as #, it takes values from the right and structure from the left
| indicates which side to take structure from
and the arrow indicates which side to take values from
hence with the following combinations
|&gt;
&lt;|
|&lt;</p>
<blockquote><p>|
we can mix and match any combinations</p>
