Anyone know if it's possible to use tidal "standalone" i.e. without supercollider?
I'd like to use it as a sequencer for bitwig where I'm sync'ing them with Link and just having tidal send midi data to bitwig.
Do I need supercollider for this? Or can tidal just open a MIDI device and send the data on its own?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions y'all might have!
I guess what I'm asking is whether or not this is up to date
Is tidal-midi still broken?
I'm a programmer by trade so maybe someone in this forum could speak to how big of a challenge it would be to get this package up and running again?
I have zero haskell exp btw
Tidal is sending out messages via OSC. If you only need MIDI, you can just write your own OSC client that consumes the messages from Tidal and sends out the appropriate MIDI messages.
You could, for example, write a python Tidal OSC -> MIDI bridge using python-osc. You can do something like this without needing to do much or any haskell.
very cool! it never crossed my mind to do that, but since i'm mostly using TidalCycles for sending MIDI to my DAW these days this could be a great option to simplify things.
