granular music recommendations?
by AlgoMantra 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Yo All....I'm trying to download and study some of the best music out there which features granular synthesis. I haven't heard much yet beyond Iannis Xenakis, but I'd love to know what your favorites are. Perhaps it would be worthwhile putting up a torrent of the same. If possible, kindly provide links to mp3 files or any other type of free downloads. (What do you think of Jaron Lanier's music?) http://www.jaronlanier.com/musicdownload.html cheers! ------- -.- 1/f ))) --. ------- ... http://www.algomantra.com

Neural Nets in ChucK
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi, Did I read correctly that ChucK now has support for neural nets? I've been coding neural nets in the signal path and in the time loop, and my beloved ChucK is so slow that I can only do 30 neurons or so in real time. I would like to hear more about this new feature. I looked on the Unit Generators page and didn't see anything there. What's up?

getting ADSR::XTime()
by eduard 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi list, I'm afraid there is a bug on the getters side of the ADSR UGen. One can set adsr::attackTime( 10::ms ) and gets adsr::attackTime() as 0.010::samp, instead of (0.010*SR)::samp. So, to be able to use adsr::attackTime() => now correctly, one should do: adsr::attackTime()*sr => now Which I don't think is the way one would expect. Could anyone confirm the same behaviour, so I can add it to the wiki-bug-list? eduard SinOsc s => ADSR env => Gain g => dac; env.attackTime( 10::ms ); env.decayTime( 5::ms ); env.releaseTime( 1000::ms ); <<<"env_region", "\tstate()", "\tcur time[ms]", "\ttime[samp]", "\ttime[ms]">>>; <<<"-------------------------------------------------------------------- -------","\n">>>; while( true ) { env.keyOn(); <<< "start of att", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms , "\t", env.attackTime()/samp, "\t", env.attackTime()/ms>>>; env.attackTime() => now; <<< "end of att", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms >>>; <<< "start of dcy", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms, "\t", env.decayTime()/samp, "\t", env.decayTime()/ms >>>; env.decayTime() => now; <<< "end of dcy", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms >>>; env.keyOff(); <<< "start release", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms, "\t", env.releaseTime()/samp, "\t", env.releaseTime()/ms >>>; env.releaseTime() => now; <<<"end release", "\t", env.state(), "\t", now/ms >>>; 1::second => now; <<< "\n","******************\n">>>;

Chorus.modDepth broken?
by Atte André Jensen 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi It seems to me that the modDepth of chorus doesn't work, depth is always very deep, it has some effect on the sound, but very subtle and not at all what I expected. Can anyone confirm this? 5::second => dur play; 2::second => dur pause; SinOsc s => Chorus c => dac; .5 => float gain; <<<"first the default settings - sounds strange">>>; inBetween(); <<<"setting the modDepth to 0">>>; 0 => c.modDepth; inBetween(); <<<"setting the modDepth to 1">>>; 1 => c.modDepth; inBetween(); <<<"setting the modDepth to 1000">>>; 1000 => c.modDepth; inBetween(); <<<"setting the modDepth to .001">>>; .001 => c.modDepth; inBetween(); <<<"something like this is the best that can be achieved IFAICT">>>; .3 => c.mix; .001 => c.modFreq; play => now; fun void inBetween(){ gain => s.gain; play => now; 0 => s.gain; pause => now; gain => s.gain; } -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

1.2.1.2?
by Chris McDaniel 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Forgive me if this is common knowledge; I have not found any references in my searching... The SmirK page indicates that ChucK 1.2.1.2 is required; I have not seen this version available for download as of yet. Is there a repository somewhere? Thanks, Chris

music made with chuck
by Atte André Jensen 04 Jul '08

Hi There as been a trend on the linux audio list, where people post "music made with linux". So here it is is, a small interlude I did today in chuck, controlled in realtime by my bcr-2000: http://atte.dk/modlys_oeve/extra/lofi.mp3 There are a few mistakes in there, but that's the way it came out... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

comma is and? undocumented feature
by Kassen 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Dear list, Consider the following; =============== if( 1 , 0) { <<<"false?">>>; } if( 1 , 1) { <<<"true?">>>; } ============= I think this isn't according to the language specs but it runs just fine. It seems that the comma equates to "&&"? it's not problematic in the slightest but it's not according to the specs either, I think, and a bit confusing. What's up here? Yours, Kas.

Here is a song I made with ChucK using my ChucK Lab software and Audacity to piece it together (warning it has harsh language and is very dark): http://www.freedomodds.com/music/songs/Schizophrenia.mp3 It's about my battle with schizophrenia. Folks on the forum liked it. Les Hall (Inventor)

http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ down again
by Atte André Jensen 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ is down again 1) Can I find the html documentation somewhere else or do I have to wait for the site to come up and rip everything from the web? 2) Why is this site down so often? It's really a pain! -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

feature ideas
by Renato Fabbri 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

my hacking skills are too small to do this things myself, so here goes some ideas for chuck: 1) the same chuck executable being able to output on both jack and alsa would be good. 2) I think that LISA would be even better if we could load a sound file directly like we do with SndBuf. Something like: "mysoundfile.wav" => mylisaobject.read; 3) If i spork a shred that defines a public class, i can't spork it again (if i need some changes in the class design for example). Is there a way to destroy or overwrite a class definition? thanks, renato
