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

Chunity (ChucK for Unity): Release!
by Jack Atherton 29 Jul '22

29 Jul '22

Dear all, Hello! I'm happy to announce the initial official release of Chunity (ChucK for Unity)! http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/ http://u3d.as/1bvM Chunity is the integration of ChucK in Unity. (For those of you not familiar with the Unity game engine, Chunity gives you the ability to do realtime sound + music generation natively in Unity, tightly coupled to interactions with graphical objects.) You can use most (possibly all?) ChucK features, run new ChucK code on-the-fly at any time, and communicate between Unity and ChucK using "global" (new keyword!) ints, floats, strings, Events, and 1D int and float arrays. (More types to come!) You can even run multiple VMs that share the same strong timing! Check out this video of things people have already made with Chunity: https://vimeo.com/263613454 And check out the original description of Chunity in this NIME paper: http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/files/2018-nime-chunity.pdf We want to know what you all do with this! Please feel free to send works in progress, bug reports, feature requests, finished works, etc. to the chuck-users mailing list! We are also planning to send a sparse series of follow-up emails covering tutorials, new features, and cool projects that people in the community have created. Please see the tutorials, documentation, etc. at the official Chunity website: http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/ Thank you and happy ChucKing!! Best, Jack + the ChucK team Music:Computing:Design @ CCRMA

Re: [chuck-users] Chugins in general

While we’re on Chugins, I recently installed the newest ChucK/Mini and found that ChucK can’t seem to find the standard Chugins (including MAUI, which I assume has now been unbundled from the ChucK executable?). MiniAudicle seems fine tho. I was using 1.3.5 fine, but 1.4 seems to be set up quite differently for Chugins and path. The installer should take care of this automagically yes? This is for Mac 10.10.5 by the way.

chugins will not load/compile using 1.4.0.0 on windows10
by Ben Sandvik 25 May '18

25 May '18

List, I have been trying to update to chuck 1.4.0.0 for a few days, but I can't get chugins to compile or load on Windows 10 64-bit using miniAudicle. I'm getting the "undefined type '...' in declaration" error message for every chugin when adding to the VM, including ones that had been working correctly with 1.3.5.2. Other .ck files that don't use chugins seem to be working fine. Here is what I have tried Downloaded the 1.4 executable and went through the standard installation I have copied the files from the chugins GitHub zip file to: C:\WINDOWS\system32/ChucK C:\ProgramFiles\ChucK\chugins C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\ChucK\chugins and made sure the directory is listed under the chugins preferences in miniAudicle. Not sure which is best directory, just trying everything. I have also tried just putting the github files for a specific chugin in the same folder with an example .ck files. Still the same error message. If I uninstall 1.4 and re-install 1.3.5.2 the older chugins are working fine, but newer ones like Wavetable and ExpEnv are not. Any ideas? Am I missing some obvious step during installation? Is there a Windows10-specific issue? Also, not sure if this is related, but changing the Log Level to anything other than System causes miniAudicle to crash when starting the vm. thanks Ben <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
