<DIV>Thanks for the comments, Ge, I've changed the blog description to one professor (Perry Cook) and students.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be glad to publish anyone's material -- you can send it to me directly at <A href="mailto:gwms@corninglink.com">gwms@corninglink.com</A></DIV>
<DIV>or post it to the list or on the wiki (I think I've got most of the likely pages on my watchlist, but you might send me a heads-up note if you'd like it posted on b-chuck). Anyone who's interested to be co-bloggers, just let me know and I'll send you a blogger-invite.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm currently working on a piece using Mikael Johansson's scales.ck to provide a full 5 octave scale-note function -- I've seen Mikael's comment about using std.mtof(float) to convert MIDI note values to frequencies, but I haven't learned MIDI yet so I don't know what MIDI notes look like...so I'll do a simple note to frequency converter using made-up integer note value-reps. </DIV>

<DIV>This is great - we are in dire need of good tutorials and this seems</DIV>
<DIV>like a good</DIV>
<DIV>start! I see that you have made several additions since last night and</DIV>
<DIV>linked the</DIV>
<DIV>blog from the wiki (I was just about to do the latter for you). Thank</DIV>
<DIV>you for taking</DIV>
<DIV>the initiative and time to get this effort going.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are others who have made tutorials on various topics, some of</DIV>
<DIV>which</DIV>
<DIV>are linked from the wiki, but there isn't really a central effort</DIV>
<DIV>(perhaps until now)</DIV>
<DIV>to make and collect tutorials. We would like to encourage that</DIV>
<DIV>everyone who</DIV>
<DIV>has made demos/tutorials to post them (and to make news ones), through</DIV>
<DIV>Gary's blog and the ChucK wiki (perhaps Gary can coordinate this</DIV>
<DIV>somehow).</DIV>
<DIV>Once we get a good set of tutorials, we can include them in the</DIV>
<DIV>distribution and</DIV>
<DIV>organize them online.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again Gary and others who are making stuff more lucid and (gasp)</DIV>
<DIV>documented. (!!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hmm, there is one (very) small typo on the blog that I should point out</DIV>
<DIV>(but</DIV>
<DIV>only out of conscience, hah): the page currently says that ChucK is</DIV>
<DIV>being</DIV>
<DIV>developed by two professors (and their students) - almost true. ChucK</DIV>
<DIV>is</DIV>
<DIV>the work of -one- professor (that would be Perry) and his students (I</DIV>
<DIV>belong</DIV>
<DIV>in this second group), some of whom are aspiring to be, but are not yet,</DIV>
<DIV>professors. (But thanks!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>Ge!</DIV>
