Just another flat file livecoding environment.

Check out the demo website!

Jaffle is an hybrid yaml/node editor for Tidal-cycles, based on Strudel.

It aims to make algorithmic music more accessible for people who are not familiar with programming languages.

Under the hood, Jaffle is a transpiler generating JavaScript code, which is then interpreted by Strudel.

• node editor to visualize and edit tunes without writing code
• easy to read yaml syntax (albeit ususally a bit more verbose than Strudel, because less compact)
• use lambda functions, expressions, variable definitions, and more
• includes all Strudel examples converted into Jaffle

• allow to import Strudel tunes
• create a desktop app

Go to the syntax section in the Jaffle website (or alternatively read its source if necessary).

Jaffle stands on the shoulders of giants:

• music code interpreter: Strudel
• graph renderer: D3
• text editor: CodeMirror
• website generator: Hugo
• bundler: ESbuild
• unit tests framework: Jest
• linter: ESLint
