    Tidal Sheet

    Uploaded by

    Jorge A. Avilés
    This document provides examples and explanations of patterns and functions in TidalCycles, a domain-specific language for live coding with music and sound. It shows how to: 1) Create patterns using mini-notation to sequence sounds over time. 2) Pass patterns as arguments to functions to manipulate them, such as reversing, speeding up, or dropping sounds randomly. 3) Combine multiple controls by applying functions to samples, filters, or other patterns.
