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

building miniAudicla on debian "cannot find -lqscintilla2"

Hi! I'm trying to build miniAudicle under debian but the build fails like this: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqscintilla2 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [makefile.qt-alsa:270: miniAudicle] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/data/atte/medium/software/chuck/miniAudicle-1.3.5.2/src' make: [makefile:38: linux-alsa] Error 2 (ignored) If I try to install libqscintilla2-dev I get this: atte@pandrup:~/software/chuck/miniAudicle-1.3.5.2/src$ sudo apt-get install libqscintilla2-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'libqscintilla2-qt4-dev' instead of 'libqscintilla2-dev' libqscintilla2-qt4-dev is already the newest version (2.10.4+dfsg-2.1). Any pointers appreciated. -- Atte http://latestyoutube.a773.dk | http://a773.dk

Newbie troubleshooting Mac/Windows
by Tim Burgess 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, I've installed ChucK 1.4.0.1 using the provided installers on both the Mac Catalina and Windows 10 partitions of my BootCamped MacBook Pro. Booted to the Mac side of things, I created and successfully ran the first tutorial program, as far as randomizing the sine wave frequencies, so that's great. I then booted to Windows and used the same file to validate my installation but, unfortunately, I got no audio output and no error messages. Pressing Ctrl+C generates a message saying "cleaning up", but the command prompt never returns. Can anybody help out a newbie with troubleshooting tips, please? Cheers. Tim

hello
by Adam McCartney 12 Mar '21

Hello chuck users, just joined the list and wanted to say a brief hello, enjoying Chuck. Really liking the clear syntax and the emphasis on multithreading. Actually had a specific question related to a function call in linux, but it managed to answer itself in the course of writing this mail. I'm on a debian buster distro and running chuck from inside a tmux session running in bash (why not make life as difficult as possible?!) Look forward to seeing what's going on in the community and hopefully can contribute in some positive ways. Regards, Adam -- Adam McCartney | Baumgasse 52/36 A-1030 Wien | +4365 08722811 | admccartney.mur.at

Re: [chuck-users] [chuck users] Mic on Mini on Mojave+
by David Loberg Code 02 Mar '21

I have students who have encountered this general problem with mics, keyboard, and trackpads (with OSX 10.14/15 and OSX 11) Personally, I have never gotten miniAud to trigger the "wants to access" prompt yet. I use this work-around: Open the application Terminal and type the following: open /Applications/miniAudicle.app/Contents/MacOS/miniAudicle This opens miniAudicle via Terminal which allows it to inherit all of the access permissions of Terminal. The above link is assuming that your miniAudicle is located in the Applications folder on your drive. Otherwise you will need a different directory path. Santé, davd ----------------- David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan code(a)wmich.edu any pronouns [chuck-users] Mic on Mini on Mojave+ PC Perry Cook <prc(a)cs.princeton.edu>  Til: * chuck-users(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu Hi all, Since Mojave, MacOS has instituted increasing security restrictions on Mic (and Camera) use. One of my Mojave machines at least launched the “MiniAudicle wants access to your microphone” dialog, and Mini now shows up in the Security pane of System Preferences. BUT, opening adc with system Mic selected just ylelds zeroes. Running the very same ChucK code: adc => Gain g => blackhole; // or dac while (1) { <<< now/second, g.last() >>>; second/10 => now; } in Terminal yields the usual non-zero mic output floats on the adc channel. Running it in Mini yields zeroes. I’ve tried it with multiple mic devices (headphone External Mic) and same result, zeroes on Mini. I actually used LoopBack to stream the mic into a virtual dac in Terminal, then selected that Loopback channel as my input in MiniAudicle. That solution works, but costs $$, and of course ChucK MiniAudicle should be able to see and use the mic. Anyone run into this and have a solution? PRC While we’re at it, has anyone dealt with this yet for Processing (mic and camera don’t work, no dialog box from system)???
