add now/retrig and make the prompt (and prompt2 for multiline things)…

[yaxu]

… silent. a good idea?

giving it a spin...

Hrm, retrig doesn't seem to work for me. Doesn't retrig need to be reset every time you want to use it? That's the only way I can get it to work. Like this:

do  
    now' <- getNow
    let now = nextSam now'
    let retrig = (now `rotR`)
    d1 $ retrig $ slowcat [ 
        sound "bd*8", 
        sound "feel:2*6", 
        sound "ul(5,8)", 
        sound "cp*8",
        s "arpy*5" # n (run 30),
        sound "bass(3,8)" ]

As for the silent prompt, I kind of miss the feedback that ghci received my command. Maybe we could make it a configurable option to make the prompt silent or not. I don't know what the default should be though.

I agree it would be good to have some kind of prompt appear, maybe something that prints the current cycle number?

if the prompts had newlines at the end they would be more readable in general.

is this PR still valuable?

No, this is all out of date. All the plugins should more or less have the same BootTidal.hs now
