* Description of structure of demo # Future Outlook
* Links to examples/existing tutorial etc
The project is still young, with many features on the horizon. As general guiding principles, Strudel aims to be
1. accessible
2. as compatible as possible with Tidal
3. modular and extensible
The main accessibility advantage over Tidal is the zero install browser environment.
While OSC output to SuperCollider is possible with Strudel, it requires the user to install SuperCollider with a custom setup script, which is not trivial. Without OSC output, Strudel is able to output sound inside the browser via Tone.js, which is a major limiting factor, both in terms
of available features and runtime performance. For the future, it is planned to integrate alternative sound engines, with possible candidates being like glicol [@glicol] or faust [@faust]. To improve compatibility with Tidal, more Tidal functions are planned to be ported, as well as full compatibility with Tidal's SuperDirt synth. Besides sound output, other ways to render events will be explored, such as graphical, serial or kinetic output.
