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

Hi ! I am using miniAudicle [version 1.4.0.0 (gidora) git: 1aa2cf5, 64-bit] on an Macbook [OS X 10.14.3 2,9 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3], and I get the following "Assertion failure" when I select the miniAudicle > Preferences menu : 2019-03-18 18:06:20.513 miniAudicle[984:112442] *** Assertion failure in -[NSMenuItem initWithTitle:action:keyEquivalent:], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppKit/AppKit-1671.20.108/Menus.subproj/NSMenuItem.m:423 I can’t open Miniaudicle’s preference menu. Is there something obvious that I should do? Thanks. Enviado desde mi iPad

Working on the next version of my ChucK vscode extension
by Forrest Cahoon 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

I'm working on a new version of my vscode extension for chuck that will run chuck to check for diagnostic errors. I've got a basically working but not ready for prime time version in the syntax-checker branch of my github repo: https://github.com/forrcaho/vscode-chuck/tree/syntax-checker Note that this will require a chuck built from the latest sources at https://github.com/ccrma/chuck because I'm using the new `--syntax` switch which was just added to run chuck just for syntax checking. If you are interested in taking a look (and maybe helping out), please do so. This is my first vscode extension, so I'm still just figuring things out. Forrest

Mini Audicle build error
by Ranjith Hegde 20 Jun '19

Greetings, I am new to ChuCK and miniaudicle. I joined the course on Kadenze to learn. I use linux laptop. The build is Ubuntu Studio 19.04. I was able to build chuck without errors using the tutorial from the website. I, however, encounter the following error when I try to build miniaudicle. I understand that it does not support qt5 which is why I replaced it with qt4 and qt4-dev. I still get the following error. " sudo make linux-jack make -f makefile.qt-jack make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ranjith/Softwares/miniAudicle-1.3.5.2/src' g++ -c -pipe -D__LINUX_JACK__ -D__UNIX_JACK__ -D__CK_SNDFILE_NATIVE__ -D__LINUX__ -D__PLATFORM_LINUX__ -Ichuck/src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -w -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5 -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtGui -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtNetwork -isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore -Ibuild -isystem /usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o build/moc_mAMainWindow.o build/moc_mAMainWindow.cpp In file included from build/moc_mAMainWindow.cpp:9: build/../qt/mAMainWindow.h:28:10: fatal error: QMainWindow: No such file or directory #include <QMainWindow> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [makefile.qt-jack:1630: build/moc_mAMainWindow.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ranjith/Softwares/miniAudicle-1.3.5.2/src' make: [makefile:32: linux-jack] Error 2 (ignored) " Would anyone be able to help me out?

Makey Makey and miniAudicle (Windows)
by Mario Buoninfante 13 Jun '19

Hi David, Could it be matter of permissions? On Linux I remember initially I had something similar, then I gave miniAudicle and ChucK the right permissions and everything was fine. I don't remember how to check this on Windows off the top of my head, maybe try to run miniAudicle as administrator and see if it works. Out of curiosity, can you run the examples in the 'hid' folder? Cheers, Mario

Is there a way to run chuck to just check syntax?
by Forrest Cahoon 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

I'm looking at trying to add more to my ChucK vscode extension, and I'd love to be able to run chuck on the code being edited so that I can parse and highlight the errors. However, I don't know how you would run chuck to just generate syntax errors. I see there is a --silent switch, which would work for the purpose, but would be an unnecessary waste of resources just to get the possible syntax errors. Csound has a --syntax-check-only command-line option. Is there something like this for ChucK? If not, would it be straightforward to add one? Forrest

Makey Makey and miniAudicle (Windows)
by David Loberg Code 12 Jun '19

I am in Germany, trying to teach a workshop with ChucK and Makey Makey devices. It is no problem with OSX laptops. However, on PCs, miniAudicle doesn't recognize Makey Makey as an HID. The laptop in general detects the MakeyMakey as a keyboard (e.g., I can type with it in a text document and it works as an interface with the online MakeyMakey piano https://apps.makeymakey.com/piano/). But I can't run Chuck programs in miniAudicle. We have tried these installation instructions without success: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/makey-makey-quickstart-guide#windows-i… Any other advice? davd ----------------- David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan code(a)wmich.edu

How to integrate Chuck into my own program?
by Da Xu 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Hi guys, Since, I am not developing for Chuck itself, so, I thought this might be a more appropriate place to ask this question. Is it possible to integrate Chuck into a program that I am writing? Basically, I would like to utilize Chuck's strong time nature to create a custom clock plugin for another environment, specifically Touchdesigner. TD is great for visuals, however, for audio related stuff, its clock can be bit unstable. It has a feature which allows external programs to communicate with it via a shared memory block, which would be the fastest way to get info into TD without overheads like protocol decoding. My goal is to create a custom clock(s) generator to send pulses into TD via the shared mem block. So, my question is can I use Chuck in this way? And how would I go about doing that? I know this is a rather simplistic use of Chuck, but I really like Chuck's strong time nature, its concurrency abilities and being particularly lightweight. I searched the documentations, and didn't really find anything. So, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Da.
