Friends and relations

Starting a list of projects connected with TidalCycles - ones that interface with/inspired/are inspired by tidal.

(For a long list of _all_ the live coding environments, see the all things livecoding list.)

Ports and parsers

• Estuary is a platform for collaboration and learning through live coding, hosting a range of environments in a web-browser, including "minitidal", a parser for tidal

Editors

• Extramuros, a language-neutral shared-buffer networked live coding system in the browser (precursor of Estuary)
• Feedforward, a strange terminal-based editor in development
• Siren - a tracker interface for TidalCycles and SuperCollider
• Troop, a real-time collaborative tool that enables group live coding within the same document across multiple computers. Works with a range of live coding languages, including Tidal

Editor plugins

• Emacs
• Sublime text
• vim
• VS Code

Synths and samplers

• Dirt - the original 'classic' dirt, implemented in c
• SuperDirt - the SuperCollider rewrite, recommended for general use (unless running in a web browser)
• webdirt - the javascript rewrite, part of estuary

SuperCollider (or SuperDirt) add-ons

• StageMaster - light mastering chain for use during live performance in SuperCollider

Visual systems

• Didactic pattern visualizer - Sound pattern visualizer programmed in Processing
• p5jsDirt - integration with p5.js

Syncing / interfacing

• Carabiner, for bridging with the Link protocol
• ESPGrid, synchronisation designed for live coding environments including supercollider, foxdot as well as tidal
• Node.js interface for sending messages between javascript and tidal

Tidal-inspired systems

• Krill - a javascript-based live coding environment inspired by tidal
• tidal.pegjs - is a parsing expression grammar for the TidalCycles mini-notation, written using PEG.js. The goal of the PEG is to easily translate strings of Tidal-style mini notation into annotated JavaScript data structures for use in sequencing. Works with Gibber and Hydra!

Systems that inspired Tidal

• Bol processor - algorithmic music system based on compositional grammars, grown from research into symbolic notation of tabla rhythms
• Euterpea is a cross-platform, domain-specific language for computer music applications embedded in the Haskell programming language
• Douglas Repetto's beat rotation experiments, e.g. rotcomposer in MEAPsoft
