• This is a root file for all tidalcycles stuff. Hope I add more haskell, tidalcycles and supercollider stuff here as I go

• tidal.cabal
  • kinda like the package.json of the file. Also used for referencing/packing on CABAL - a package manager for Haskell
  • http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tidal

• Pattern.hs

  • Core of the engine

• Time is an alias for a Rational type

• Arc is an object that contains a start Time and a stop Time

  • ArcF is a generic object with start and stop properties
  • Arc is sort of a section of one rhythmic cycle (although it can also be longer than the duration of 1 cycle)

• sam -> start of a cycle. It does a mathematical floor on a variable

  • It’s the indian classical word for start of a cycle

• Event is just any value with a timespan associated with it

• State is an arc + control parameters
• Pattern - values that change over time

Functions to check

• withQueryTime
• withResultTime

• Query is a function from time to events
  • It’s also an element within a pattern
  • You cant look inside it. It will only give you the current value
  • Need to grok this

• Tempo.hs
  • Clocked
