Documentation Reference | Tidal Cycles

nutshell


Tidal Cycles (or justTidal for short) is software for making patterns with code, whether live coding music at algoraves or composing in the studio. It includes a simple and flexible notationfor rhythmic sequences, and an extensive library of patterning functions for combining and transforming them. This allows you to quickly create complex patterns from simple ingredients.

By default, sound is made with the featurefulSuperDirtsynth/sampler, but you can control other synths using Open SoundControl (OSC) orMIDI. Whether you're usingSuperDirt or a synth, everyfilter and effect can be manipulated independently withTidalpatterns. Tidal is embedded in theHaskell language, although you don't have to learnHaskell to learnTidal.

You can learnTidal through experimentation and play - mostTidalcoders have little or no experience in software engineering.

Contribute

If you enjoy usingTidal Cycles, please consider contributing to theTidal Cycles Open Collective crowdfunding project. From the project page:

As the Tidal community grows, this opencollective fund will accept donations towards development and documentation initiatives for the project, and potentially artist development opportunities. The overall aims will be:

  • To develop free/open source software that reimagines computer programming as a live interface for musicians and other artists to creatively explore patterns.
  • To make the software more accessible, including through documentation, translation and design, and encourage contributions from more people
  • To foster a community of contributors and other users from diverse backgrounds.

Credits

Tidal Cycles andSuperDirt have been developed with contributions from a wide range of people -Tidal contributors /SuperDirt contributors.

Tidal Cycles was initiated by Alex McLean around 2009 during doctoral work funded by EPSRC. Alex' ongoing work on Tidal has been supported in part by various ad-hoc contributors, and grants (eg thePENELOPE project, under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme of the European Union, grant agreement No 682711).

In 2021, Alex moved the project's public financial contribution support model from an individual/personal contribution type (via Ko-fi), to a an Organisational Model via theOpenCollective platform, at the same time appointing an experienced admin team to handle the ongoing project accounting in a transparent and ethical manner.

TidalCycles has been heavily inspired by the work of many others including Bernard Bel, Laurie Spiegel and Adrian Ward.
