Scale & diatonic
by Hans Aberg 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

I have made a program, scale.ck, that admits one to work with scales, including tuning stretch, céleste tremulant, retune them, and then save to a file, with a line of code that can be pasted back into the source, available at next program startup. Scale tunings can be put into tuning banks, and otherwise defined by your favorite method. Details in the file. I have also updated my program for diatonic tuning systems, diatonic.ck. Just a few changes: adding some common tunings, fixing typos. The files are available here: http://www.math.su.se/~haberg/tuning_systems/ Hans

miniAudicle bug: initial C comments
by Hans Aberg 26 Aug '10

It seems miniAUdicle 0.2.0 has a bug: files cannot have an initial C comment /* ... */. Perhaps to prevent people putting in useful comments. :-)

Question re: installing ChucK on Mac
by Edward Herbst 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi, The installation instructions I downloaded say to reconfigure the terminal of a Mac but the Apple people I consulted advised me not to do that. They say reconfiguring the terminal is outside the warrantee and they see it as potentially destroying the computer! Is there another way to install ChucK without altering the terminal? Thanks for advice, Ed

Maybe * 0.7
by Tambet 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Features/Release - the most prioritized feat for next release is extending maybe. As I just thought of it today and my thoughts are better than there - I think that a simple overload for multiplication operator would be just enough. Like this: if (maybe * 0.2) { // Runs with probability of 20% } Or, more coherent, but less nice: if (maybe(0.2)) { // Runs with probability of 20% } Then, when doing switches, how to handle those? It would be nice to have something like: switch { case maybe * 0.3: case maybe * 0.5: case maybe * 0.6: case true: } In case it would automatically fix all maybes - so that actual probabilities would add up to 100% and, thus, first one is fixed to about 0.2 and second one to slightly less than 0.5 ..this would allow really nice play with probabilities (and, of course, optimizations internally).

IP address from incoming OSC message?
by Michael Heuer 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hello, Is it possible to determine the IP address of the client sending an incoming OSC message? There is no documentation on the API of the OscEvent class. I'm trying to find a way of dealing with multiple OSC clients that are sending the same OSC message. OscRecv incoming; OscEvent event; 1234 => incoming.port; incoming.listen(); server.event("/incoming", "f") @=> event; spork ~ waitForEvent(); fun void waitForEvent() { while (true) { event => now; while (event.nextMsg()) { event.getFloat() => float f; event.getIPAddress() => string client; if (client == ...) { } } } } michael

Initial download risk or just joking?
by Edward Herbst 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Can someone please advise if someone is being facetious or is there really a risk in the download? When you click the Download link the first paragraph reads: "ChucK-1.2.x.x is part of the Dracula release of ChucK - why Dracula? While the previous release (Frankenstein/1.1.x.x) offered the proof of concepts (timing, concurrency, on-the-fly programming) with a generous propensity to explode, the Dracula release is more refined and powerful with the addition of arrays, objects, events (and better explosions too). Additionally, the Dracula release is yet unoptimized and may suck all blood and life from your computer (anticipate spectacular crashes and other bloody disasters)... Please let us know if that happens. " - Show quoted text -

What is the state of the ChucK code site? - I should perhaps post the tuning systems programs I made. Hans
