jarmlib: Jack Armitage's (mostly TidalCycles) live coding library

This is not a "working repo", I just update this occassionally to make what I do a bit more shareable.

Currently this doesn't include much SuperCollider / SuperDirt code as that's a mess. Also not included as of now is Emacs stuffs. If you poke me I might do something about that.

Mostly what I'm trying to achieve with live coding is efficiency, flexibility, minimal cognitive overhead, and easy memorisation (both cognitive and embodied).

Overview

Three main Haskell files:
- Boot.hs: the main entry point.
- Lib.hs: extra functionality.
- Targets.hs: destinations for sending Tidal pattersn to (AKA OSCTargets).
Some random SuperCollider bits:
- tidal-midi-setup.scd possibly the only thing here that's useful to anyone other than me.

`Boot.hs`

Main entry point kept simple as possible
Includes hoogle if you have that installed

`Lib.hs` (in order of import)

Shorthands.hs: shorthand versions of standard Tidal functions/parameters. Because life is short.
Signal.hs: efficient ways to work with "continuous functions".
Sequence.hs: number sequences.
Param.hs: efficient ways to work with groups of parameters.
Harmony.hs: a keyTable and a harmonise function for writing in-key chord sequences efficiently.
Composition.hs: experiments in writing Tidal "tracks".
MIDI.hs: any custom MIDI stuff.
Misc.hs: misc.
Compatibility.hs: anything deprecated.

`Targets.hs`

SuperDirt.hs (basically the rest of the default BootTidal.hs)
Bitwig/BitwigAPI.hs (experimental)
Other experiments

Setup

Set the absolute path in Boot.hs
Run :script /path/to/Boot.hs when booting Tidal (this will depend on your editor)

Customisation

Comment out what you do/don't want inside Boot.hs, Targets.hs and Lib.hs
