Genny Strudel is an updated version of Genny that keeps the original generative-model live coding workflow while adding Strudel-style pattern notation and playback.
The original Genny repository has been archived with release tags and branches. This repository now continues the project as Genny Strudel.
This repository began as the codebase for the paper Genny: Designing and Exploring a Live Coding Interface for Generative Models, authored by Junichi Shimizu and Rebecca Fiebrink. The paper was presented at the 7th International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC2023) in Utrecht.

- Rebuilt the app with Vite, TypeScript, React, and Zustand.
- Added Strudel-compatible rhythm notation such as
s("bd ~ sn ~ bd bd sn ~").bank("808"). - Added a Strudel runtime path through
@strudel/transpilerand@strudel/webaudio. - Kept familiar Genny model calls such as
model(),gen(),output(),similar(), andinterpolate(). - Added bridge examples where Strudel rhythm patterns can seed Genny model generation.
- Added syntax highlighting and completion support for Genny and Strudel-style code.
- Added a template picker with focused examples for Genny rhythm, Strudel rhythm notation, model bridging, and runtime sketches.
Genny Rhythm Pattern: original Genny time-code rhythm notation.Strudel Rhythm Notation: simple mini-notation rhythm with sample banks and gain.Genny Model Bridge: generation from a Strudel rhythm seed with a Genny model.Strudel Runtime Example: advanced Strudel code evaluated by the Strudel runtime.
