Strudel

Overview

Strudel is a browser-based live-coding environment that ports TidalCycles' pattern language to JavaScript. It uses pure functional programming to create musical patterns that can include drums, melodies, synthesis, and effects. Patterns are immutable query functions that transform time spans into event streams, supporting mini-notation DSL, Euclidean rhythms, and extensive audio processing.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Creating drum patterns, melodies, basslines, or full compositions
• Generating algorithmic or generative music
• Applying effects like filters, reverb, delay, or distortion
• Debugging Strudel code or explaining pattern behavior
• Encoding Strudel code into shareable URLs
