strange mini behaviour/ubuntu
by Atte Andre Jensen 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Hi One of my students want to run miniAudicle under ubuntu 9.04. I helped him compile it, but for some reason it behaves quite strange. When the VM is started it shows run time of some large number (36276252.3645 or something) and when the first shred with sound-generating a ugen connected to dac is added the mini segfaults. I never saw this behaviour before, any idea what's up? NB: Sorry for the rather imprecise error report, I only saw his machine once, about a week ago... -- Atte … [View More]

Grains make garbage:(
by kurt 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello all- I have been doing some granular synthesis in ChucK and I am trying to create overlapping grains without having resort to arrays of Ugens or similar methods to create polyphony. Although I have seen this technique used often, the following seems to eat up memory rather quickly (due to continuously sporking the SndBuf no doubt). //BEGIN CODE --> //use your own file here... Std.getenv("SSDIR")+"/"+"Percussion"+"/"+"snare.wav" => string filename; fun void voice(){ SndBuf s => … [View More]

chuck shell...
by kurt 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello all-First of all, I love ChucK shell!!! But I wondered if there are any plans for ChucK shell improvements in the works? It would be nice to have some normal shell type stuff... Tab-completion, command line history (it would be sweet to 'up-arrow', then 'enter key' to keep adding the same shred), the ability to change directories (or at least the ../../ syntax would be nice, cause, as it stands, one has to use absolute path names for files not in the working directory), and to move the … [View More]

Static data problem (arrays, floats)
by Andrew C. Smith 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hey list, Basically, I want a static function that holds a tuning map in it (sort of an alternative to mtof). This (issue 1): float tuning_map[128]; Gives me: [Rational_io.ck]:line(45): non-static member 'tuning_map' used from static function... [Rational_io.ck]: ...in function 'read' and this (issue 2): static float tuning_map[128]; gives me: [Rational_io.ck]:line(16): cannot declare static non-primitive objects (yet)... [Rational_io.ck]:line(16): ...(hint: declare as ref (@) & … [View More]

Kill Yr Tunings (Rational + Tonality classes)
by Andrew C. Smith 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hey, I've got a prototype here for a couple of classes to make something similar to SC's Tuning / Scale classes. I've attached the two class files (Rational_io.ck and Tonality_io.ck, which extends Rational) and one test file (iotest.ck). The key is that you have to have the new CVS installed and running properly (FileIO and Arrays--standard miniAudicle build won't work), and you have to drop the files partch.rational and otonal1.tonality in the same directory that you ChucK from. Rational is … [View More]

Netlabel Releases ChucK Program
by Les Hall 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

We got like 200 downloads on the Boolean Sequencing album that I created using an automatic song generator created with ChucK, so we decided to release the software on the EDP netlabel. See here for linkie: http://doporto.pt.to/ And scroll down to see the blurb about the software. In just a few days there have been 12 downloads (not much I know), so there might be close to 12 new ChucK users running the code. This is a great way to spread the word of ChucK, if you feel like … [View More]

ChucK compilation error (still, again?) -- similar to the Ubuntu GCC 4.3 problem
by Andrew C. Smith 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hey all, So, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (anyone else? I feel like the list's guinea pig here) and now I'm getting awful compilation errors. "gcc" gives me 4.2.1, as does g++, so it's not the exact same as the 4.3 problem from the forum. Before, I could download the CVS and compile straight-through, but now I get this: $ make osx make -f makefile.osx gcc -D__MACOSX_CORE__ -c -O3 rtmidi.cpp rtmidi.cpp: In function ‘int get_device_name(SInt32, char*, int)’: rtmidi.cpp:295: error: cannot … [View More]
