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

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

Re: [chuck-users] here's an idea
by Perry R Cook 27 Aug '11

Hi all, Over the years I have done this for SKINI (Synthesis ToolKit Network Interface), which is a form of slightly extended textified MIDI. A couple of simple examples can be found at: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/dsp2008/prc/Week1Labs/ChucKModal/ Running the GUIModal script evokes the Tcl/TK wish interpreter, giving you a GUI with sliders and buttons. It pipes the output of that, which is SKINI, into the stdin of chuck running Modal.ck. The StdIn Class is called Skot (deprecated, should be called ConsoleInput), and the substring parser is called PRC (now called StringTokenizer). skinihak.c can read SKINI files with time stamps and dole them out (flushing it's stdout) to be piped into a SKINI-reading chuck program. So skinihak spain.ski | chuck Modal.ck will play that scorefile. In the directory I pointed you to, skinihak is Linux, skinihakMac is PowerPC, you can build what you like 'cause the source is there. For IntelMac SnowLeopard, without Rosetta, you can build one that works using something like: gcc -m32 -o skinihakMacIntel skinihak.c Enjoy!!! PRC

Chuck Latency
by Kyle Hipke 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

I'm working on a project that requires low latency peak detection. But I'm struggling with the low-latency part. I'm not sure if there's just a problem with chuck, my code, or if my computer is slow. I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz processor. The following code illustrates the problem: time chrono; Impulse i => dac; adc => Gain g => OnePole p => blackhole; adc => g; 3 => g.op; .9999 => p.pole; now => time start; 10::samp => dur peakPollRate; //ADJUST THIS .001 => float threshold; spork ~makeImpulses(); while (1) { if (p.last() > threshold) { <<< "peak at", (now - chrono) /ms >>>; .2::second => now; } peakPollRate => now; } fun void makeImpulses() { while (true) { 1 => i.next; .8::second => now; <<< "Impulse at ", (now - start) / ms >>>; } } This code uses an impulse as a metronome and listens to the adc through a OnePole filter for peaks above a threshold. Here's two ways to demonstrate the problem (you'll need speakers and a mic): 1. With headphones in, adjust the threshold as low as possible without picking up room noise (under //ADJUST THIS) then run the code. Make a percussive sound into your mic that coincides with one of the impulses, then kill chuck and look at the output. On my machine, it detects the peak ~200ms after the metronome, even though I made the sound immediately when I heard the metronome. 2. With speakers on, adjust the threshold and your speaker volume so that the Impulses are detected as peaks, but no room noise is. Run the program for a few clicks and kill it, then look at the output. On my machine, again, I get a ~200ms delay. Do other people have this same problem? Why is this happening?

MIDI Synthesizer
by z＠chickenz.fr 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi ! I'm currently having some fun with ChucK and my keyboard, and thought it would be nice to share my little experiments. It's a polyphonic synthesizer class that can easily be overridden. Here is an example: Gain g => dac; // we create the synthesizer Synth synth; // connect all its voices to the gain synth.connect(g); // set the device number 0 => int device; // start the synth synth.start(device); // and that's all. while(true) day => now; There, you have a basic synthesizer with some SinOscs that you can control with your little MIDI keyboard (or a virtual keyboard connected with jack, that's your business). There is 20 voices by default, which means you can press 20 keys at the same time (if you want to use your toes, for example). Now, you want to add a vibrato and a tremolo, and you want to control them with a potentiometer or a cursor. No problem ! First, get the identifier of the controls on your MIDI controller (with the mididump.ck script, for instance). Gain g => dac; Synth synth; // The default synth contains 3 lfos (low frequency oscillators), but you // can do what you want with it. The first one is automatically chucked to // the oscillators synth.connect(g); // This class contains some control handlers, and can be easily extended MIDIControls ctl; // First we want to connect a potentiometer to the first lfo's frequency, // and we want it to vary between 0 and 50. // My first potentiometer has the codes (176, 75) spork ~ ctl.handler_osc_freq(synth.lfo_1, 0, 50, 176, 75); // The next potentiometer will be binded to its gain // this way, the frequency will vary between f - lfo.gain and f + lfo.gain // where f is the frequency of the note pressed spork ~ ctl.handler_gain(synth.lfo_1, 0, 50, 176, 76); // Then, we are gonna add a tremolo // For two oscillators, it's easy to sync the output of the first to the // frequency of the other. But to sync an oscillator and a gain, you will // need a shred. Fortunately, I made one, it works like that : spork ~ modulate_gain(synth.lfo_2, synth.g); // The lfo_2 is now connected to the internal gain of the synth // And then, we bind two more potentiometers spork ~ ctl.handler_osc_freq(synth.lfo_2, 0, 50, 176, 77); spork ~ ctl.handler_gain(synth.lfo_2, 0, 7, 176, 78); // The synth is where it all happen, where the midi data is fetched and // handled. // We need to add our new bindings : synth.controls(ctl.ctrl); synth.start(0); while(true) day => now; Now, by extending Synth and MIDIControls, you do all kinds of fun things. One sinus oscillator per voice is a little flat, so you can change it to a Triosc : class TriSynth extends Synth { // We can change the envelope 80::ms => adsr_attack; .3 => adsr_sustain; 30::ms => adsr_release; // and the default oscillator type fun Osc get_osc() { TriOsc s; return s; } } And then, use it just like the Synth class. I also did a Synth with more than one Wave per Voice, there is an example in the source file, and I also did a little video (with a gruesome quality) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqN11uGK-kI (also, plotting of the wave's shape with gnuplot) Finally, I did a looper (not with LiSa, I have channels and sample rate issues on my computer) that can play some tracks in a loop and do stuff to it. Unfortunately, there is no recording possible for the moment. Silly video example here (might cause ear bleeding): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRduB9wbj8w There is lots and lots of possibilities to improve it, and I won't be able to think about every one of them. I'm also struggling with the public class system and trying to turn this file into a library. My little project could really use some more documentation, but my english is quite french, so to speak, therefore I'm afraid to induce more confusion than clarity, but I will try. The code : https://bitbucket.org/synzack/chuck/src/6d447a4651b4/midi.ck The repo : https://bitbucket.org/synzack/chuck/ Hope you like it, z^ck

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'M TRYING TO PICTURE THE CODE TO IMPLEMENT THIS, THOUGH MY BRAIN HURTS, SO I CAN'T.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 something occurred to me, i don't know how this would work, or even if it would all that well. basically, the idea is a file containing notes, notelengths, octaves, and timing commands, then having a .ck interpreter read this file and play it, i'm picturing a language similar to what basic had available for audio, with extensions of course, because we can do rests, that didn't do rests as i recall. and we can include different basic sound generators, sinosc sqrosc etc and another small set of symbols to change those from within the music file. so, there'd be a .ck file, made to interpret this new language, let's call it an .imus (interpreted music file) the .ck file runs, reads the .imus file, and plays that. we could also tell it at the beginning of the .imus file, if we wanted to play it through the speakers, or record to output-of-imus-file.wav. anyway, just an idea to kick about. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOUjP6AAoJEIaKvi7tbzRHpc4H/27v/YoSStk4O9X0dQYrzGzx SnYzFa7XNCacraZkX45GXVsho5rydkt7mKdb1gGo/xT/FhJccZgKThbQaDUJKg4W 7CH/Ut9QNVILajkPCNH9FBcOoq9HuZA6b6hOwKybMkaNRGFvGHqzEyj9U0QmPQfc BDnxF4vbX++cCNHoSEohErhKwrp0VLCi/8G/Fn3DMpcL4pJTy7cEuWckoCy2G/op 1GBk0ozLyS+pe9jawTk8F6UxlbFEKUTPXFHxMAZCQOBO+RHIESdjXmJ9OSx3IUMQ dMe+Db1R+IXd8Vz9lkDcTAEgDqcLbK7vwt4/VQPe5hGGNCm2fbH6ZIo6F+yttCE= =/8Qt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mac OS X Lion support
by Spencer Salazar 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello, As many have already noticed, the current release version of ChucK does not run in real-time audio mode on Mac OS X Lion. Until now! In advance of a formal release, we are providing builds of the current SVN source for anyone who is having trouble getting ChucK to run on Lion. ChucK (Mac OS X Universal command line executable): https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~spencer/chuck/chuck-1.2.1.4-beta-1.tgz miniAudicle (Mac OS X Universal binary): https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~spencer/chuck/miniAudicle-0.2.1-beta-1.tgz Lion users, please let us know if you continue to have difficulties with real-time audio with these builds. Updating ChucK to use the latest version of RtAudio fixed a host of Lion issues; a minor bugfix in RtAudio resolved the remaining issue. There are a lot of other cool things coming too when the new version of ChucK is released. Special thanks to Gary Scavone for making peace between Mac OS X Lion and RtAudio. Peace! spencer + chuck team

i went into terminal and did exactly what you said. when i entered "%>chuck" in the terminal it didnt give me the "[chuck]: no input files... (try –help)" message on the terminal screen like it says it should in the chuck manual. does this mean it didnt install correctly? i included a pic of the terminal windo as well. i dont know how to tell if its installed or not. thanks so much for your help.

Oops, I see that you did navigate to your downloads folder correctly. Just to be sure, you didn't type "%>chuck" did you? The "%>" is meant to represent the computer's line prompt. All YOU have to type is: chuck and hit enter. Now do you get the whole "no input files" thing?

Does the miniAudicle work for you? Because that's the most straightforward way to use ChucK. Certainly if you're mainly interested in programming for the Monome, the miniAudicle is the best environment. The installation of the command-line version is generally only necessary for special cases. If you're really intent on using the command line version, I suspect that it's navigating to the chuck folder in the terminal that's tripping you up. Where is your chuck-1.2.1.3-exe folder? If it's on your desktop, then you'll need to type: cd ~/Desktop/chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin (likewise, if it's in your Downloads folder, replace Desktop above with Downloads) then: sudo cp chuck /usr/local/bin (Just to echo Hans' comment, you don't need that line about 'sudo chmod 755...')

need help installing chuck

ive been interested to try out chuck as a programming language for my monome, but i seem to be having some difficulties with the installation. im on a macbook pro 10.6.8 btw. i downloaded the chuck executable as well as miniaudical. i opened up the chuck executable which opened up a chuck folder with a bunch of things in it, and i stored them both in my applications folder. in the chuck manual, theres a section i included in an attachment that talks about replacing the x's with the actual "directory name". what is a "directory name" and how do i find out what my directory name is? id really like to get this going, thanks in advance for any help! hopefully i ll be chucking soon.
