tidal-looper's Issues

start recording to buffer when silence ends

Hey!
I don't currently have a pedal or something to trigger the recording in Tidal while I'm holding my guitar and the method with qtrigger is quite unprecise. So I was wondering if there could be some way to have a special recorder that starts recording when it detects an amplitude greater than some threshold (maybe using something like the DetectSilence Ugen).

Looping orbits with matched loudness while preventing clipping

Discussion: https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/sampling-within-tidal/508/47?u=jarm

Would it be an idea to expose recLevel and perhaps other parameters to Tidal, to aid in experimentation?

/b_alloc: memory allocation failed

I'm struggling to get tidal-looper working. I'm on supercollider 3.13.0.

I've stripped things down so I'm starting superdirt with the simplest SuperDirt.start and then run ~looper = TidalLooper(~dirt);

Then when I do d1 $ sound "looper" I see this in the post window:

/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed
/b_alloc: memory allocation failed

I tried doubling s.options.memSize before booting superdirt but no luck.

Any ideas @thgrund ?

instrument not found

Hej Mr Reason,

I'd love to use your tidal-looper but I get this message in SC after following all your steps:

no synth or sample named 'looper' could be found.
instrument not found: nil

Did I miss something?
Thanks a lot!

generalize replace/overdub switch

Right now (or at least the last time I looked at your code), it seems that even though pLevel is a float between 0.0 and 1.0, only those two values are relevant.

I think it would be interesting to make use of the intermediary values. Say tidal-looper is recording. At any given time, we have one sample coming from the input i, and one sample coming from the buffer b. The new value put in the buffer could be b * pLevel + b * (1 - pLevel). That way, pLevel = 0 is replace mode, while pLevel = 0.5 is like overdub (with an attenuation of the previous loop) and pLevel = 1.0 is regular playback.

Does it make sense?

qtrigger complaining about argument

Hi, this looper is super cool! It's all working great for me, except when I try to use qtrigger. If I write my code as such:

linput = pI "linput"
lname = pS "lname"

d1 $ qtrigger 1 $ s "looper"

I get the following error in the tidal console:

<interactive>:392:6: error:
    • Couldn't match expected type: ControlPattern -> Pattern ValueMap
                  with actual type: Pattern a0
    • In the first argument of ‘($)’, namely ‘qtrigger 1’
      In the second argument of ‘($)’, namely ‘qtrigger 1 $ s "looper"’
      In the expression: d1 $ qtrigger 1 $ s "looper"

Do you see anything I might be doing wrong? I feel like it must be something simple

issue with lazy sample loading

Hi,

Tidal-looper is working seamlessly when sample banks are loaded at superdirt
startup. But if I use "lazy sample loading" (~dirt.doNotReadYet = true in supercollider
startup file), I get that error : reading soundfile as needed: loop:none ERROR: Primitive '_SFOpenRead' failed. when I try to play a recorded loop.

For some reason, it seems that lazy loading and tidal-looper don't play well together.

I'd really like to use both cause I have a very large sample library and looping in tidal is
so much fun.

looper not triggering? or buffer not being overwritten?

Hi,

I get very inconsistent behavior when trying to record loops.
Sometimes a loop gets recorded, sometimes not. Sometimes the old loop is not overwritten when using rlooper, sometimes it is.

I started using named loops instead of the standard 8 buffers, but that did not change the behavior.
I feel like I'm missing a very basic concept.

I need to run my once $ s "looper" # lname "bubu"
multiple times in order to actually get a recording. I thought it had to do with not waiting long enough but even when waiting multiple cycles, sometimes it triggers and sometimes it does not

anyone have an idea what is going on?

turning tidal-looper into a Quark / Superdirt synth

tidal-looper would benefit from a better integration in the ecosystem:

turning it into a quark for easy install/update
turning it into a Superdirt synth for easy integration into a superdirt instance

I'm not very familiar with the supercollider ecosystem, but I can have a look ...

Provide README as a .tidal file

I just made this for myself and thought I would share it in case you want to include it

Great projects, thanks for sharing

-- ## Pre-Requirement

-- First you should execute the following tidal code:

linput = pI "linput"
lname = pS "lname"

-- Now you can use `linput` and `lname` as parameter.

-- ## How to use it

-- This basic operations which are explained below is shared by all looper modes. By default 8 buffers are created, and accessible under the name 'loop' (s) and a number from 0 .. 7 (n).

-- The simplest form for recording is

once $ s "looper" -- writes one cycle to the loop buffer and uses the input port 0 and the sample number 0

-- After recording you can listen back to the result with

d1 $ s "loop"

-- It is possible to set the length of the recording (this is equals to the length of the events) i.e

d1 $ slow 2 $ s "loop"

-- Use n to choose a specific buffer, i.e. n "2" is equal to "write to the second buffer under of the sample bank loop".

d1 $ s "looper" # n "<0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7>"

-- And each buffer is accessible with the n function

d2 $ s "loop" # n "[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]"

-- You can use each input port for recording. If you use i.e. Blackhole, than the output and input ports have the same results. This way you can write the orbit results (i.e. what came from d1) to a buffer.

d1 $ s "looper" # linput 16

-- You can specifiy the name of your loop sample bank

once $ s "looper" # lname "bubu"

d1 $ s "bubu"

-- To reset all loop buffers just evaluate

once $ s "freeLoops"

-- To persist all loop buffers of a specific buffer list just evaluate

once $ s "persistLoops" # lname "bubu"

-- **Note 1:** I prefer to use 'qtrigger 1' to ensure, that the recording starts from the beginning of the pattern.
-- Maybe you want to use the looper with seqP, seqPLoop or wait.

-- **Note 2:** If you want to use more samples under one name, than adjust the `numBuffers` in the `Looper.scd`.

-- ## Replace mode

-- In replace mode, each time the recording pattern is called, the specified buffer is recreated and any existing buffer is cleared. The basic looper `s $ "looper"` is actually the `"rlooper"` (for replace looper) and just a synonym. 

-- To continuously play back and record a loop, the code could looks like this

d1 $ qtrigger 1 $ stack [
    s "rlooper" # n "<0 1 2 3>",
    s "loop" # n "[0,1,2,3]",
    s "808 cp!3"
]

-- If you record a loop of cycle length 1 and play it back at the same time, you will never hear a result, because the buffer is immediately rewritten at each cycle.

-- **Note:** You can change the default looper mode by changing the variable `pLevel` in the `Looper.scd`.

-- ## Overdub mode

-- Loop overdub - A  mode found in many looping devices where new material can be added on top of — overdubbed on — existing loop material. This allows you to layer additional parts into a loop to create a fuller sound or a more “layered” effect. (See https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/loop-overdub/)

-- In overdub mode, each time the recording pattern is called, the specified buffer is kept and the incoming audio signal is mixed to the existing one. This means that no new buffer is created if a recording has already been made for that buffer. To use the looper in overdub mode you just need to use `olooper` (for overdub looper) instead of `looper`.

-- To continuously play back and record a loop, the code could looks like this

d1 $ qtrigger 1 $ stack [s "olooper",s "loop",s "808 cp!3"] 

-- **Note 1:** The buffer length of a buffer is set when recording for the first time and cannot be changed afterwards (unless you clear the buffer with `s "freeLoops"`) .

-- **Note 2:** In an older version the additional function `playAll` was needed to simulate an overdub mode. This is no longer necessary because a "real" overdub mode was implemented.
