limit on number of OSC addresses you can listen to?
by Ben Steinberg 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I've posted about this to the electro-music forum: http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=402793 In trying to write some code for the Illucia dtr, I found that adding addresses to an OscIn object appeared not to work after twelve addresses. I wrote a test program that wasn't illucia-specific; the following code starts 16 OSC transmitters and 16 receivers. When you run it, you can see that transmitters 0-15 all transmit, but only receivers 0-11 receive. for ( 0 => int i ; i < 16 ; i++ ) { spork ~ output(i); spork ~ input(i); } while ( true ) { 1::second => now; } fun void output(int number) { 12008 => int port; "localhost" => string hostname; OscOut xmit; xmit.dest(hostname, port); while (true) { Math.random2f(5.5, 8.5) => float wait; wait::second => now; xmit.start("/tester/what/" + number); Math.random2f(0.0, 1.0) => float temp => xmit.add; xmit.send(); <<< "sent", number, temp >>>; } } fun void input(int number) { OscIn oin; OscMsg msg; 12008 => oin.port; oin.addAddress("/tester/what/" + number + ", f"); float val; while (true) { oin => now; while ( oin.recv(msg) != 0 ) { msg.getFloat(0) => val; <<< "received", number, val >>>; } 5::ms => now; } } I'm running ChucK 1.3.4 on Mavericks, with and without miniAudicle.

ChucK code to connect MIDI controller to some UGen STK
by Daniel Chapiro 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi - I'm new to ChuK and I have a few questions: (1) I would like to experiment with coding different sound textures in ChucK, but then play with a WX-5, rather than ChucK code. To not re-invent the wheel, I'm looking first for ChucK code that would capture the messages sent by a MIDI wind controller (using ChucK's MIDI events), and drive a ChucK STK UGen (such as a clarinet, or other). (2) I have not found this in http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Programs, and I was wondering if there are any other source repositories (unfortunately, Googling for anything + ChucK is no good, as Chuck is such a common word… ) (3) Finally, is there a way to search the full user archives (in https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-users/) without opening every month's entry? Thanks! --Dan

Ah, I see! I agree it's much nicer if ChucK is forgiving in the examples you showed :-) cheers, Casper

Yep, as Tom says. We couldn't have our language throw an error on float temp; for obvious reasons. Scoping is one of the wonderful parts about such languages.

Should it not be simply forbidden to redefine a variable like that in a sub-class ? When you assign instead of declare, the problem disappears. So perhaps, instead of 'fixing' the bug, we should forbid this kind of use of scope (chuck should throw an error if you try) ? Casper class A { 10000 => int foo; } class B extends A { fun void bar() { // 0 => int foo; 0 => foo; <<< "a", foo >>>; { <<< "b", foo >>>; } <<< "c", foo >>>; } } B b; b.bar(); Casper Schipper casper.schipper(a)gmail.com www.casperschipper.nl +316 52322590

Scope bug?
by Ian South-Dickinson 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

I encountered a strange case where a variable was changing value within the scope of an if statement, because I had a superclass with an identical variable name. I am able to reproduce it with this simple case: class A { 10000 => int foo; } class B extends A { fun void bar() { 0 => int foo; <<< "a", foo >>>; { <<< "b", foo >>>; } <<< "c", foo >>>; } } Prints out: a 0 b 10000 c 0

Thanks for your help, Joel - and Spencer. :) I think I need some extra software for compiling ChucK - I'll look into it. I have a more recent Intel Mac laptop, but the thing about the G5 is it has the PCI slots for my MOTU 24io. I would need to get another interface to use ChucK on the laptop. I could pick up an eight channel USB MOTU fairly cheaply.

Hello Joel, thanks for the fast reply. Yes, it's a PPC machine.

Installing on OSX 10.5.4
by Tom Charles-Edwards 05 Aug '14

Hello, first post here. Looking forward to learning ChucK. :) I have a G5 running OSX 10.5.4. The current version of ChucK is apparently good for 10.5 and later. Tried that - didn't work. I see all the older versions on a separate page. Which one should I try? Thanks for any help, Tom

Hi Completely new Chuck user. Can I do on the fly editing without using --replace? So that the programming will auto reload on save? Thanks Carsten
