I'm trying to change the bps of my cycles (following this video tutorial https://youtu.be/plu04_ewZUQ) on atom. To do so, I run the line
bps 1.5
However Tidal answers by
• Variable not in scope: bps :: Integer -> t
• Perhaps you meant one of these:
‘bpf’ (imported from Sound.Tidal.Context),
‘bpq’ (imported from Sound.Tidal.Context),
‘cps’ (imported from Sound.Tidal.Context)
and nothing changes.
Is this command outdated ? What am I doing wrong ?
Since we’re are at it, I was assuming that default cps was 1, right ? but every time I open atom, things seems to be running at something which is rather close to 0.6 or 0.55. Is it possible that I accidentally messed up with some settings ?
Also every time I evaluate a setcps, supercollider posts “no synth or sample named ‘nil’ could be found.module ‘sound’: instrument not found: nil”, but I don’t know if this is relevant at all (cps correctly updated though).
The default cps used to be 1. If you have 2 beats per cycle, that’s 120 beats per minute. I noticed a lot of people didn’t think about changing from the default, and after listening to a lot of 120bpm and 60bpm performances, I changed the default to 0.5625, i.e. 135bpm, the equivalent of fairly fast techno.
… actually I think that wouldn’t be considerate, I noticed the change surprised a lot of people, a bit disconcerting to suddenly feel time speed up and not know why!.
