Bringing the TidalCycles Mini-Language to the Web
summary
A small JavaScript library implements the TidalCycles mini-notation by parsing the quoted pattern strings with PEG.js parsing expression grammar, returning arrays of events with rational start and end times and a query API that requests phases and cycle lengths. It runs in main threads or inside an AudioWorkletProcessor, integrates into Gibber and Hydra, powers a live emoji demo, provides visual highlighting of triggered tokens, and demos show the parser and scheduler working in real time.
