<div dir="ltr">I am guessing that the n float (which is 64 bit, I think) gets downsampled to 16 bit resolution in the WvOut stream, which yields the variance you see (0.5 doesn't look that neat in base 16). I don't know an easy way around this, besides increasing the sample resolution or maybe try to chop the float in half and write it twice in the sample?<div>
<br></div><div>I too have been wondering about a simple file interface. One application is note sequences read dynamically from files. A wilder thought is ChucK programs generating new ChucK source code and sporking them. 8) The former can be solved by simply editing ChucK source code, but there may be situations when you want a cleaner file to edit.</div>
