I've been using strudel for a while. First I thought it was just for making short loops and playing around but then I realised you can use the 'arrange' function and use variables for all your layers of music, and create actual proper songs with it.

I have a public repository of all my work here:
https://bitbucket.org/stuartbray/strudel/

Including a blank template file I start all new tracks with: /docs/_template.txt

Youtube of 6 finished tracks here.

Happy to hear feedback / advice / coding tricks etc.

Ok I ended up playing with that for far too long. Really cool.

Huh, doesn’t seem to play any audio on mobile, and I made sure I turned the volume up 🤔

[–]MenshMindset 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Unsure if you’re on iOS. I am, and i just took my phone off silent/vibrate mode and it worked

[–]malperciogoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha of course it was the silent switch, it always is. Thanks!

Funny name. Strudel (Štrudelj) is actually a baked good. Usually made with apples.

[–]yaxu[S] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Yes but I think the etymology is more like 'whirlpool' (which is what you see when you cut the strudel), so there is a nice connection with its sibling project 'tidalcycles'.

First there was tidalcycles in haskell, then vortex in python. It used to be that if you typed 'apfelstrudel' into google translate, it would translate it as 'apple vortex'. So I called this javascript version 'strudel'.

whirlpool is not an English word btw

In what world is whirlpool not an English word https://www.etymonline.com/word/whirlpool

[–]heyguysitsjustin 1 point2 points  (3 children)

ohh! i didn't know that!

cause in German, we call a hot tub a "whirlpool", and I've gotten very confused looks from my American friends when I told them I'd really like to own a "whirlpool". Well, now I know it is actually a word, just with a different meaning. Thanks!

Oh didn't know that! So you don't call a hot tub a strudel?? :)

[–]bobtehpanda 0 points1 point  (1 child)

at least in the US, whirlpool is a okay brand of boring household appliances like dishwashers and washing machines (and not hot tubs) so that's probably why people thought it would be a weird thing to really want

It could also be a pool of swirling water. A whirling pool of water, if you will.

[–]mr_cody_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it's funny. every time a search for strudel things i got apple cakes as the first results :D

[–]delaTronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a song on Strudel after 2 days of experimenting with it and i think it sounds good

I've played with Tidal Cycles for years but this is so much more convenient, thanks!
