🎉 Strudel now has a fantastic Hydra integration via https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/759

Integration Ideas

[x] What should the Hydra behaviour be when Strudel is stopped? Black screen? ~Freeze frame? Never stop?~ froos edit: implemented black screen in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/983 . freeze would also be nice but it seems hydra blacks out when calling .hush()
[ ] Is it possible to feed Strudel audio into Hydra's FFT analyser? (for direct audio viz)
[ ] It currently doesn't seem possible to use H() inside Hydra arrow functions e.g. .rotate(({time})=>(time*H(p))))
[ ] Is it possible to 'sample' data from Hydra back into Strudel patterns? (I think @ojack did some work on this already?)

this would be a first step to allow patterns directly in hydra: https://github.com/hydra-synth/hydra-synth/issues/152

that's because H(x) will return a pattern and multiplying patterns with regular values won't work

I think .rotate(({time})=>(time*H(p)())) should work right?

you're right. my last comment was just wrong, because H(x) actually does return a function that returns a value

Personally in favor of Ctrl+. calling Hydra's hush(). Because Strudel doesn't have block based evaluation, the only way to stop the music and visuals is to call hush() and add silence to the end.

now doing this with https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/983
