#001 - Jungle beat, created with Tidal Cycles

Tidal cycles is back on Modulations today and yes I keep resetting my numbering system, silly me. Anyway enjoy today's example of how to make code musical!

Apr 1, 2023

let
setbpm x = setcps (x/60/4)
_add :: Time -> Pattern a -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
_add t value pat = slow (pure $ 1+t) $ timeCat [(shift,pat),(1-shift, value)]
                where shift = 1 / (t + 1)
add :: Pattern Time -> Pattern a -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
add pt x y = innerJoin $ fmap (\t -> _add t x y) pt

setbpm 160

all $ timeLoop 4 . (rotL 4)

all $ id

d1
$ while "t(4,16)" (|+ krush 1)
$ while "[0 | 1]*16" (superimpose (plyWith 4 (|* speed 1.25) . slow 2))
$ layer [id
        ,\x -> degradeBy (segment 16 perlin)
            $ slow 2
            $ x
            # speed 0.75
            # shape 0.1
        ,\x -> add "[0.5 | 0.25]*4" (s "jungbass:1" # speed 0.8 # shape 0.2 # krush 2)
            $ x # speed "[2 | -2]*8"
        ]
$ s "[drum drum:1 [~ drum] drum:1, drum:3*[[8 | 16]*4]]"
# krush 2

Tidal Cycles is back as some people were asking about it and today’s example makes use of some cool syntax, that I am going to walk you through in a future post,
