9These are the release notes for Strudel 1.1.0 aka "Bananensplit".
10
11The last release was over 19 weeks ago, so a lot of things have happened!
12
13First, here's a little demo, teasing some of the new features:
14
15import { Youtube } from '@src/components/Youtube';
16
17<Youtube client:only="react" id="2Qu5lMHruio" />
18
19Let's write up some of the highlights:
20
21## New DSP Features
22
23### Stereo Supersaw
24
25with spread, unison, and detune parameters
26
27```plaintext
28note("d f a a# a d3").fast(2)
29.s("supersaw").spread(".8").detune(.3).unison("2 7")
30```
31
32### Analog "ladder" filter type
33
34works great for acid basslines and vibey tones
35
36```plaintext
37note("{d d d a a# d3 f4}%16".sub(12)).gain(1).s("sawtooth")
38.lpf(200).lpenv(slider(1.36,0,8)).lpq(7).distort("1.5:.7")`
39.ftype('ladder')
40```
41
42### stereo distortion effect
43
44```plaintext
45note("{g g a# g g4}%8".add("{0 7 12 0}%8")).lpf(500)
46.s("supersaw").dist("4:.2")
47```
48
49## Editor Features
50
51### inline viz
52
53The editor now supports multiple visuals within the code, using the `_` prefix for viz functions:

61- `._pianoroll()`: inline pianoroll
62- `._punchcard()`: inline punchcard

64- `._pitchwheel()`: inline pitchwheel
65

67
68### label notation
69
70This new notation simplifies writing patterns at the top level:
71
72```plaintext
73d1: s("bd*4")
74d2: s("[- hh]*4")
75```
76
77This is equivalent to:
78
79```plaintext
80stack(
81 s("bd*4"),
82 s("[- hh]*4")
83)
84```
85
86The labels you choose are arbitrary, the above `d1` and `d2` are a typical thing you'd write in tidal, for example `d1 $ s "bd*4"`.
87If the same label is used multiple times, the last one wins:
88
89```plaintext
90d1: s("bd*4")
91d1: s("[- hh]*4") // <-- only this plays
92```
93
94There is a special label anonymous label `$`, which can appear multiple times without overriding itself:
95
96```plaintext
97// both of these will play:
98$: s("bd*4")
99$: s("[- hh]*4")
100```
101
102You can mute a pattern by prefixing `_`:
103
104```plaintext
105_$: s("bd*4") // <-- this one is muted
106$: s("[- hh]*4")
107```
108
109To run a transformation on all patterns, you can use `all`:
110
111```plaintext
112$: s("bd*4")
113$: s("[- hh]*4")
114all(x=>x.room(.5))
115```
116
117This notation is now the recommended way to [play patterns in parallel](https://strudel.cc/workshop/first-notes/#playing-multiple-patterns)
118
119### Clock sync between multiple instances
120
121timing has received a major overhaul, and is now much more accurate on all browsers. Additionally, you can now sync timing across multiple windows.
122
123
124### Better sample upload support
125
126you can now upload large amounts of samples much faster across all browsers including on IOS devices. supported filetypes now include: ogg flac mp3 wav aac m4a
127
128### experimental tidal syntax
129
130The new `tidal` function allows you to write strudel patterns in tidal syntax:
131
132```plaintext
133await initTidal()
134
135tidal`
136d1 $ s "bd*4"
137
138d2 $ s "[- hh]*4"
139`
140```
141
142As we're looking to improve compatibility with tidal, we're happy to hear feedback.
143
144## breaking changes
145
146This release comes with a bunch of breaking changes. If you find your patterns to sound different, check out the PRs below for guidance on how to update them. Most of these changes shouldn't affect a lot of patterns.
