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

ChucK Floss manual
by mario buoninfante 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi all, I know it's only a start, but now ChucK manual is online again (there was an issue with 2 chapters sharing the same name). I also updated the /Installation/ chapter, now the /Linux building and dependencies/ paragraph has been refers to Ubuntu 16.04, the latest LTS version. I'm not a Fedora user, so if there's anyone who use it, please feel free to have a look and update it ;) apart from that it's worth saying that I've been asked by Mick Chesterman (chesterman_floss <http://write.flossmanuals.net/accounts/mick.chesterman/>) to try a new writing system for this work omnibook <https://omnibook.pro/>. so I asked some info more about it. cheers, Mario

Experiences running Chuck on ARM computers?
by Pietari Seppänen 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi! I'm having a lot of trouble running Chuck on my Orange Pi Zero. I'm hoping to make a little hardware looper on one of these tiny and cheap single board computers. Does anyone have any success stories for running Chuck on ARM computers? I know the LoopPi2 project uses Raspberry Pi 3, but I'd prefer a single board computer I could use without an external sound card. My Orange Pi Zero effort was tiny and cheap, if it only worked... I don't know what the problem is, because it's quite beefy despite its size, a lot quicker than the original Raspberry Pi and that runs Chuck. Maybe the problem lies in the audio codec, but it seems to play and record files just fine. Here's my original post on electro-music forum: "PostPosted: Yesterday, at 2:00 am Post subject: Anyone running Chuck on Orange Pi? Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post Mark this post and the followings unread Hi! I'm trying to copy the functionality of LoopPi2 (https://github.com/szymonkaliski/LoopPI2) on Orange Pi Zero. The advantage of OPi Zero is that it is very inexpensive and has an audio codec built-in, which makes it even less expensive. I have the audio side of things working ok on both the recording side and the playback side, however all Chuck scripts work very slowly. The computer has a 1.2 GHz processor and 512 megabytes of memory, which is not much but today's standards, but you would think it's enough for some audio work. Observations: 1. Setting the rate to 8000 helps some, but it's still choppy. 2. At least looking at 'top', Chuck doesn't ever use more than half of the CPU. There's nothing else on that would use it, I don't even have a graphical UI of any kind. I'm using Armbian Debian Jessie with kernel 3.4.113 because I had some trouble with MIDI on the mainline kernel. I compiled Chuck myself from the 1.4 sources. I don't know if I missed some optimization step. Chuck runs on the original Raspberry Pi, which is a lot less powerful and otherwise quite similar, so I don't understand where the trouble comes from.

ChucK Floss manual
by mario buoninfante 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Hi everybody, I had a quick look at the FLOSS manual (http://write.flossmanuals.net/chuck/introduction/) and I noticed the link is broken. since I'm discovering a lot of hidden stuff in the source code (Teabox, CNoise, DelayP, etc.), stuff not documented anywhere, I thought it would be great to update the manual. is there anyone interested in helping out? cheers, Mario

Hi, still experimenting with sysex, I noticed that on MacOS it is possible to send sysex with a length not multiple of 3 will fill, while on Linux I cannot do the same. does anyone know why this happens? I suspect the "issue" is ALSA, can anyone confirm that? cheers, Mario

Hi Folks long time lurkere here i am looking for a set of Chuck M4L devices -- i had them working in Ableton and there was some ridiculous number of them like 10+ different ones does someone recall what they were called?
