Effects for TidalCycles

NOTE:

This repository is now outdated, as these effects are part of Tidal 1.0.0.

TidalFX

A haskell package adding weirder effects to Tidal from non-standard UGens.

Use:

1. Download this repo from github
2. Install the package on your system (using your terminal, cd into the Cabal-Package folder and type cabal install)
3. In Tidal, evaluate the line import Sound.Tidal.TidalFX
4. Evaluate TidalFXSynths.scd in Supercollider

That's it!

Spectral thanks to Mads Kjeldgaard for writing SpectralTricks - the format of this repo is largely copied from that.

The parameters:

Waveloss

# waveloss n

Waveset-based sample dropping.

Accepts an integer controlling how many samples out of 100 are dropped. Requires the WaveLoss UGen from sc3-synths.

Squiz

# squiz n

A wave squeezing pitch-shifter.

Accepts an integer denoting 'pitchratio'. A value of 1 plays audio normally, while a value of 2 will raise by one octave, and so on.

Continuous Patterns

Hey man!

Just been playing with this as a way of learning dynamically adding things to Superdirt.

Couple of notes for you (& maybe @madskjeldgaard )

1. If you change the type signature of both to use floats and use the equivalent VF & F in place of VI & I you'll be able to apply continuous patterns so # waveloss (scale 1.0 99.0 $ slow 8 $ cosine) will work.

2. You may well know this already but you could just eval those Haskell functions in Atom/Vim, bypassing the need to install a lib etc. Either way, you can reduce it to a one liner that may well protect you from changes on master* like so:

(squiz, _) = pF "squiz" (Just 1.0)
(waveloss, _) = pF "waveloss" (Just 0.0)

*ParamPattern has gone to heaven IIRC.

Have fun.
