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

ChucK | Users Chugins/Chubgraphs/Chugens

Hi, I've been looking at CSound recently and I was impressed by the quantity of Opcodes (Ugens) it has. I know we have official Chugins, but still it's a small collection and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of interesting ones flying around that we all use every day (even if Chubgraphs), just they've never been 'captured'. Thus, I was thinking why don't we 'capture' them somewhere :) I also know that having an official repo means maintaining everything is on there, and that requires work as well. What do you guys think about having an unofficial repo/'place on the internet' where to put some others, chubgraphs and libraries included? I think the community would benefit from this. Looking forward to hear your thoughts Cheers, Mario -- Electronic Musician, Creative Coder, QA Engineer https://vimeo.com/creativecodingsalerno http://mbuoninfante.tumblr.com/ https://github.com/mariobuoninfante https://bitbucket.org/mariobuoninfante/

Hi Michael, Considering the nature of the thread, would you like to expand a bit on "The original intent was that it be a place for lots of people to dump their stuff, but that hasn't really happened"? I mean that seems exactly what I was looking for :) How do you see that happen, if it's still something you'd like to see happening?

Hello, I'd like to create some files with simple functions and call them in a Main.ck file. I try with Machine.add or spork, but these properties are a different way. There is any function as in C (#include ) or python (import file)? Thanks Again, -- Claudio Rogerio

Re: [chuck-users] trackpad problem

I have not updated all 20 yet. But I just tried another one with Sierra OSX and got the same behavior. If it is not OSX dependent, seems that it must be something particular to that specific hardware model: MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012). The trackpad or an external mouse works fine in every other program. Within miniAud, they are recognized as HID devices. It will connect to them and print the hid.name But it won't read any HidMsg data. It won't even trigger hidEvent => now; davd -------------------------------------------------------------- Spencer Salazar writes: Just confirmed that thinks are working as expected on my MacBook Pro 15in mid-2015 with mac OS 10.14.5. But perhaps something changed between .5 and .6. Have all 20 been upgraded / is it failing with all of them?

You can try: 1. Resetting the System Management Controller. Shut down your Mac, be sure the power cable is plugged in, then press (left side) Shift-Control-Option and power-on keys all at the same time. Hold for about 5-10 secs, and reboot if it doesn't automatically (I can't recall if it does). 2. Reset the the PRAM/NVRAM. Shut down your Mac. Push the power-on key and hold down Command-Option and the "P" and "R" keys and hold them while the machine boots. 3. It may be a battery issue. The older batteries used to swell up when they got tired, and it may be pushing on the back of your trackpad. hope this helps -- brad On Tue, Aug 20, 2019 at 1:46 PM David Loberg Code <d.loberg.code(a)wmich.edu<mailto:d.loberg.code@wmich.edu>> wrote: I have an older MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012).

Re: [chuck-users] Trackpad issue

Some time ago I noted that I needed to use a different device number for the built-in track pad. Mouse 1 vs mouse 0. I suspected that Apple might be getting ready to introduce a touch-screen Laptop, which would of course be device 0. That never happened yet tho. Did you try a different device #??

Embedded ChucK

Hi, Do we have anything like ctcsound ( https://csound.com/docs/ctcsound/ctcsound-API.html) or libpd ( http://libpd.cc/) for ChucK. I know changes have been made in the latest release, I was just wondering if there's anything to look at out there. Cheers, Mario
