# TidalCycles log of changes ## 1.4.9 - Housebound spirit * Simplify 'show'ing of patterns @yaxu * New `draw` function for drawing a pattern of single characters as a text-based diagram, with friends `drawLine` and `drawLineSz` for drawing multiple cycles @yaxu * Fixes and expansions of ratio aliases - s should be a sixteenth @mxmxyz, w is now 1, f is now 0.2 * Simplify definition of `accumulate` using scanl @benjwadams * The first parameter of `someCyclesBy` is now patternable @bgold-cosmos ## 1.4.8 - Limerick * Add ratio shorthand to floating point patterns @yaxu * Support fractional scales, add Arabic scales @quakehead * Additions to tidal-parse including support from overgain, overshape adn rot @dktr0 * Move prompt-cont setting to end of BootTidal.hs (older versions of Haskell crash out at this point) @ndr-brt ## 1.4.7 - Bleep * Fix BootTidal.hs - make loadable in atom @bgold-cosmos * More additions to tidal-parse @dktr0 ## 1.4.6 - Megatron * Experimental ratio shorthand ref #573 @yaxu * Store mininotation source location(s) in events ref #245 @yaxu * Add more things to tidal-parse @dktr0 @yaxu * Separate out haskell parser from tidal-parse into new hackage module called 'haskellish' @dktr0 * Support patterning polyrhythmic % steps in mininotation @yaxu * Fixes to emacs plugin (tidal.el) @xmacex * New parameters for freq, overgain, overshape, and missing midi params including the new nrpn ones @yaxu ## 1.4.5 - Porter Brook * Mini notation - `@` (and its alias `_`) now accepts rational relative durations. E.g. `a b@0.5 c d` to make `b` have a half step (that would be the same as `a@2 b c@2 c@d`). This can also be patterned `a b@<0.5 2> c d` @yaxu #435 * Experimental `reset` function - stick in a pattern so it acts as though the cycle number was reset to 0, from the next cycle @yaxu * Bugfix for setR in BootTidal.hs @yaxu * Mini notation - `!`, `@` and `_` now work properly within `{}` and `<>`, e.g. `` will repeat every 7 cycles @yaxu #369 #248 * Mini notation - `@` and `_` are now aliases for each other, e.g. `a_3` is the same as `a@3` as are `_` and `@` @yaxu #369 * Frame skipping on clock jumps now configurable @yaxu #567 * Sync between tidal instances now works straight away, without having to setcps @yaxu #569 * New `while` function for applying a function selectively according to a binary pattern @yaxu * Lowercases aliases `slowappend` and `fastappend` for `slowAppend` and `fastAppend` respectively @yaxu * Many tidal-parse updates @dktr0 ## 1.4.4 - Chee Dale * wrandcat (weighted randcat) @yaxu * MIDI Sysex support #558 @yaxu * Elements in an Open Sound Control path address can now be patterned #557 * 'once' now chooses a random cycle to play. To get the old behaviour of playing the first cycle, use 'first' @yaxu #476 * Make random choices in mini-notation behave independently @yaxu #560 * Add [a|b|c] syntax to mini notation for randomly choosing between subsequences @yaxu #555 * Add power pattern operators |**, **| and |**| @yaxu ## 1.4.3 - Stanage Edge * Fix for xfade / xfadein transition * New function plyWith ## 1.4.2 - Higger Tor * Fix for 'nudge' ## 1.4.1 - Carl Wark * improvements to handling of cps changes @yaxu #501 * fix for parameter patterning in 'range' @yaxu #547 ## 1.4.0 - Padley Gorge * fix representation to handle continuous and analog events properly @yaxu ## 1.3.0 - rolled back to 1.1.2 ## 1.2.0 - Hunters Bar * Simplify <* and *>, removing any distinction between analogue and digital patterns ## 1.1.2 - Eccy Road * Usability fix for `binary` / `binaryN` (use squeezeJoin on input pattern) ## 1.1.1 - Chelsea Park * Usability fixes for `binary` / `binaryN` / `ascii` @yaxu ## 1.1.0 - Brincliffe Edge * `binary` and `ascii` functions for playing with bit patterns @yaxu * support chord inversions in chord parser @bgold-cosmos * skip ticks when system clock jumps @yaxu * fix crash bugs in mini notation parser and grp @yaxu * new stitch function @yaxu * |++, ++| and |++| for combining patterns of strings by concatenation @yaxu * send best effort of a sound id to dirt / superdirt if sendParts is on, allowing parameter adjustment of previously triggered sound (without chopping) @yaxu * qtrigger - quantise trigger to nearest cycle @yaxu * add setI, setF et al to BootTidal.hs for setting state variables @yaxu * BootTidal.hs now sends d1 .. d12 to orbits 0 .. 11 respectively @yaxu * markov chain support with runMarkov and markovPat @bgold-cosmos * simplify / fix mask and sew @yaxu * Adjust <* and *> (and therefore |+, +| etc) to be closer to <*>, explanation here: https://penelope.hypotheses.org/1722 @yaxu * extract minitidal into its own package tidal-parse (using cabal multipackages), renaming to Sound.Tidal.Parse @yaxu @dktr0 * benchmarking @nini-faroux * minitidal refactor, support for parsing more of tidal, tests @dktr0 ## 1.0.14 - IICON * 'chew' - like bite, but speeds playback rate up and down * variable probability for ?

They *aren't* lists though, so you can't for example do `sound (["bd", "sn"] ++ ["arpy", "cp"])` -- but can do `sound (append ["bd", "sn"] ["arpy", "cp"])` * New function `linger`, e.g. `linger (1/4)` will only play the first quarter of the given pattern, four times to fill the cycle. * `discretise` now takes time value as its first parameter, not a pattern of time, which was causing problems and needs some careful thought. * a `rel` alias for the `release` parameter, to match the `att` alias for `attack` * `_fast` alias for `_density` * The start of automatic testing for a holy bug-free future ### Fixes * Fixed bug that was causing events to double up or get lost, e.g. where `rev` was combined with certain other functions.
