mondo
an experimental parser for an uzulang, a custom dsl for patterns that can stand on its own feet. more info:
import { MondoRunner } from 'uzu'
const runner = MondoRunner({ seq, cat, s, crush, speed, '*': fast });
const pat = runner.run('s [bd hh*2 cp.(crush 4) <mt ht lt>] . speed .8')
the above code will create the following call structure:
(speed
(s
(seq bd
(* hh 2)
(crush cp 4)
(cat mt ht lt)
)
) .8
)
you can pass all available functions to MondoRunner as an object.

things mondo cant do
how to write lists?
arrange(
[4, "<c a f e>(3,8)"],
[2, "<g a>(5,8)"]
).note()
how to write objects:
samples({ rave: 'rave/AREUREADY.wav' }, 'github:tidalcycles/dirt-samples')
how to access array indices?
note("<[c,eb,g]!2 [c,f,ab] [d,f,ab]>").arpWith(haps => haps[2])
s hh .struct(binaryN 55532 16)
comments
variables: note g2*8.dec sine
sine.(range 0 4)/2 doesnt work sine/2.(range 0 4) works
n (irand 8. ribbon 0 2) .scale"C minor" => lags because no whole
reference
- arp: note <[c,eb,g] [c,f,ab] [d,f,ab]> .arp [0 [0,2] 1 [0,2]]
- bank: s [bd sd [- bd] sd].bank TR909
- beat: s sd .beat [4,12] 16
- binary: s hh .struct (binary 5)
- binaryN: s hh .struct(binaryN 55532 16) => is wrong
- bite: n[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7].scale"c mixolydian".bite 4 [3 2 1 0]
- bpattack: note [c2 e2 f2 g2].s sawtooth.bpf 500.bpa <.5 .25 .1 .01>/4.bpenv 4
dot is a bit ambiguous
n[0 1 2].scale"C minor".ad.1
decimal vs pipe
less ambiguity with [] and ""
in js, s("hh cp") implcitily does [hh cp] in mondo, s[hh cp] always shows the type of bracket used
todo
- lists: C:minor
- spread: [0 .. 2]
- replicate: !
