Re: [chuck-dev] ChucK plugin for PD

Is there any plan to allow ChucK to have its audio generation turned off? Also, can you give an example of how this would work with PD? Is this just going to be a single object with a script attached? How will this be able to interact with PD objects? Thanks, Mike On 10/16/06, Mike McGonagle wrote:

After using both ChucK and PD, I have noticed that PD is far more efficient at generating audio. I have created two simple patches in both PD and ChucK that were just sine wave generator. The patch in Chuck could only handle 20 voices before it started to generate an audible sputter, while the same patch in PD was able to handle almost 200 voices before there was any audible degradation of the sound. I am working on a G5 Mac Laptop (not sure of the clock speed), I have also run the same things on a Dual G5 1.8MHz machine, and was able to get PD up to about 350 voices before it started sputtering (I wasn't able to test ChucK).

Is the plan to basically use ChucK for the higher level logic, and control PD's audio generation? I see ChucK as a great language, which would be a nice addition to PD, but as far as being an audio generator, that is the whole reason that I have stopped working with ChucK.

Just my $0.02...

As some of you may know, Brad Garton has adapted ChucK to run as a Max/MSP external (http://music.columbia.edu/~brad/chuck~/). I'm currently working on porting this project to PD (hoping for Windows and Linux support, at least). I'm collecting feedback from anyone who is interested in this sort of thing. What projects would you use a ChucK PD external for? What features would you like beyond the basics?

In the same vein, I hope to produce a VST plugin with equivalent functionality by the end of the year. Of course, I'm looking for similar feedback here too.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
