These are the release notes for Strudel 1.1.0 aka "Bananensplit".

The last release was over 19 weeks ago, so a lot of things have happened!

First, here's a little demo, teasing some of the new features:

import { Youtube } from '@src/components/Youtube';

<Youtube client:only="react" id="2Qu5lMHruio" />

Let's write up some of the highlights:

## New DSP Features

### Stereo Supersaw

with spread, unison, and detune parameters

```plaintext
note("d f a a# a d3").fast(2)
.s("supersaw").spread(".8").detune(.3).unison("2 7")
```

### Analog "ladder" filter type

works great for acid basslines and vibey tones

```plaintext
note("{d d d a a# d3 f4}%16".sub(12)).gain(1).s("sawtooth")
.lpf(200).lpenv(slider(1.36,0,8)).lpq(7).distort("1.5:.7")`
.ftype('ladder')
```

### stereo distortion effect

```plaintext
note("{g g a# g g4}%8".add("{0 7 12 0}%8")).lpf(500)
.s("supersaw").dist("4:.2")
```

## Editor Features

### inline viz

The editor now supports multiple visuals within the code, using the `_` prefix for viz functions:

/>

- `._pianoroll()`: inline pianoroll
- `._punchcard()`: inline punchcard
- `._scope()`: inline scope
- `._pitchwheel()`: inline pitchwheel

For more info, check out the new [Visual Feedback Page](https://strudel.cc/learn/visual-feedback/)

### label notation

This new notation simplifies writing patterns at the top level:

```plaintext
d1: s("bd*4")
d2: s("[- hh]*4")
```

This is equivalent to:

```plaintext
stack(
  s("bd*4"),
  s("[- hh]*4")
)
```

The 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"`.
If the same label is used multiple times, the last one wins:

```plaintext
d1: s("bd*4")
d1: s("[- hh]*4") // <-- only this plays
```

There is a special label anonymous label `$`, which can appear multiple times without overriding itself:

```plaintext
// both of these will play:
$: s("bd*4")
$: s("[- hh]*4")
```

You can mute a pattern by prefixing `_`:

```plaintext
_$: s("bd*4") // <-- this one is muted
$: s("[- hh]*4")
```

To run a transformation on all patterns, you can use `all`:

```plaintext
$: s("bd*4")
$: s("[- hh]*4")
all(x=>x.room(.5))
```

This notation is now the recommended way to [play patterns in parallel](https://strudel.cc/workshop/first-notes/#playing-multiple-patterns)

### Clock sync between multiple instances

timing has received a major overhaul, and is now much more accurate on all browsers. Additionally, you can now sync timing across multiple windows.

### Better sample upload support

you 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

### experimental tidal syntax

The new `tidal` function allows you to write strudel patterns in tidal syntax:

```plaintext
await initTidal()

tidal`
d1 $ s "bd*4"

d2 $ s "[- hh]*4"
`
```

As we're looking to improve compatibility with tidal, we're happy to hear feedback.

## breaking changes

This 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.
In case of doubt, add the line `// @version 1.0` to your old pattern.
