vim script for live chucking
by Renato Fabbri 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

This is what I used and it was quite enough given the execussion had another live coder and a PD and mixer improviser: http://ubuntuone.com/7P9ZFMFVVa9cBr4LZ1xtjg My replace map doesnt work though (last line of the text file on the link). Any idea? BTW, we live coded for more de 2 thousand people here in Brasil at Festival Contato. Some say about ~5 thousand, i guess ~3,5k. Chuck live-coding with Vim rvl3z. Vilson Vieira, the other live-coder, used Emacs. We projected both desktops at the same time. cheers!, Renato -- GNU/Linux User #479299 labmacambira.sf.net

ChucK Language Features
by Colin Sullivan 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hello all, I have started to build a compositional framework in ChucK and have come across a few language features that seem to be unsupported: - For the types of inheritance structures I am thinking about, it would be incredibly useful if I was able to call a parent class's method from within a child class using something like the `super` keyword. - It would also be really awesome if I could pass a "type" as a parameter. - Not crucial at all, but it would be convenient if subclassing a `UGen` allowed you to use the chuck operator on instances of your class just like other ugens, i.e. `MyPiano p => dac`. I am interested to know if there has been work on these features since the release I am running, and if so where I can go about acquiring a more recent build. If there has not been any development on these features, I would be interested in getting to know the problems a bit more and determining if I can contribute to their development. Are any of these issues inherently difficult due to an aspect of ChucK's implementation? Let me know if I can clarify at all. Thanks! ---------- Colin Sullivan

pyck == python+chuck
by Tomtom 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hi people, if anyone is interested, I have published a small program which reproduces chuck's strongly timed programming in python. it's only a proof of concept, you won't get a sound out of it, but it demonstrates how you can get shreds and message passing events in pure python. It means that hypothetically, one could leverage the power of python's expressiveness and massive libraries to do many things (e.g. code modularity, complete object framework, GUIs ...). I hope you will find it interesting. cheers tom

BlitSaw.period missing
by Kassen 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Fellow ChucKists, I just noticed that BlitSaw (and I assume the other BlitFoo's) doesn't have a .period() member for setting/getting the frequency/period based on cycle-length. I feel they should have this. This would be consistent with the other oscillators (and it's not something that is affected by their nature like -say- hard-sync is), it'd be useful and it would fit with the strongly-timed style of ChucK. Yours, Kas.

Best way to sync two laptops
by Vilson Vieira 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hey chuckists! As a part of a live-coding performance we are going to do next Sunday, we are trying to realize the best way to sync two laptops running chuck --loop, each one running their own shreds and sending their own audio output. Any suggestion? Thanks. -- Vilson Vieira vilson(a)void.cc ((( http://automata.cc ))) ((( http://musa.cc )))
