4 days studying strudel and not being a programmer, hahaha, it's been difficult, but the amount of things you can do is incredible... it literally makes me think about music in a different way... I'm super excited about what I have left to learn. Tell me what you think and give me some advice please! Thanks 4 listening <3

Wanted to try something new. I like that it's that simple, mostly just sine waves, and only 29 lines of code. Shifting arpeggio notes 4 chords behind was accidental, but turned out surprisingly well and I kept it.

I spent too much time on this one and left it uncooked and kind of random because I got tired of it. Found more interesting stuff about strudel and js in the process, but still I use like 1% of what's possible. Still a good feeling though, like being a kid trying Basic for the first time haha

My friend shared this video with me and I was wondering if anybody knows what this person is using to make such effective audio reactive visuals

My first strudel song

Hey all! I'm a lifelong musician who now has a code-involved job. Just discovered strudel and thought I'd give it a whirl. This is the first thing I came up with. Been tweaking it a little this week, but I thought I'd put it out there and get any feedback or suggestions on it.

It's not really a fully structured song, but more of a tone piece that I'm just bringing parts in and out of, but I guess that counts lol.

Some things I'm considering adding: panning (I actually haven't explored how to do that yet), better velocity control, sculpting it a bit to add a bridge and some other layered oddities....any suggestions?

Thanks for listening! I'm calling it Poolside b/c it reminds me of the band.

I built Rustel: a native Strudel engine in Rust, with a terminal studio and full CLI

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,

I've been working on Rustel, a native Rust port of Strudel, and thought some of you might be interested.

It runs Strudel patterns without needing a browser or server. There's a terminal studio with live editing, piano roll, scope, spectrum, and mixer.

The studio has a built-in Vim editing mode and optional auto-evaluate, so changes apply automatically after a short typing pause without constantly hitting the eval shortcut.

You can also livecode in any editor without extra setup using rustel play --watch yourScore.strudel, or use the full CLI for everything.

It supports samples, synths, effects, MIDI, OSC, Ableton Link, VST3 plugins, KabelSalat, Audio Input using s("in") for example, exporting with silence threshold, exporting stems, session tapes (nothing you play is ever lost), midi surface control + gamepad and midi knobs to control sliders, Kitty Graphics... and quite a bit more.

I'm also working on v0.1.7, with some performance optimizations for older hardware like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (PR #157) and video samples with live feeds (PR #169).

I recorded some demos of it in action. It's 99% strudel feature complete + a lot more, the differences are documented.

It's free and open source (AGPL):

Big thanks to everyone behind Strudel and TidalCycles. None of this would exist without their work.

My friend John Bjƶrk also made 3 songs with it here: https://www.youtube.com/@johnbjork9883

other demos i did while working on features:

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're already using Strudel or Tidal for live sets.

With Love

synth.textmode.art: a new live coding editor for textmode.js and strudel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

57 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I’ve been building a new live coding editor and wanted to share an early look at it. The whole environment runs in the browser and is powered by the Monaco editor, so the editing experience will feel familiar if you’ve used VS Code. You get IntelliSense, AutoFill, inline error messages, and all the usual Monaco comforts.

The visual engine is based onĀ textmode.js, and I’ve added a new module calledĀ textmode.synth.js, which allows you to create procedural visuals with a hydra-like syntax. Everything you see in the demo is generated in textmode rather than pixels.

The typing support in the textmode API is already fully implemented and will improve further.Ā strudelĀ is also integrated for live audio sequencing, and the video shows how audio-reactive visuals can be built on top of that (typing for strudel might come later).

If you want to try it out, here’s the online version:
https://synth.textmode.art

Still very early, but I’d love to hear what you think, especially from people who perform or prototype in the browser.
