[chuck-users] ChucKDesigner released!

[David Braun]

Hi again ChucK users,

ChucKDesigner now has a Python API, so you can set global variables and
fetch them too. Users of Chunity will find it very familiar. Please watch
this video https://youtu.be/U34PyL_zMJ0 to see how to make a drum sequencer
with ChucKDesigner!

Best,

David
