• Description
  • Features:
• Install
• Usage
• Key bindings

Description

This layer adds a major mode to control TidalCycles, a programming language for live coding.

Features:

• tidal-mode to interact with TidalCycles
• Spacemacs friendly key bindings

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add tidalcycles to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

After installing TidalCycles and starting SuperDirt as described in the wiki, open a file with the .tidal extension and start TidalCycles with SPC m t s.

You can evaluate a piece of code with SPC m RET or the original key binding C-RET.
