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

ChucKDesigner released!
by David Braun 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Hello ChucK users, A new project, ChucKDesigner combines ChucK and TouchDesigner to facilitate audiovisual interactions. Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/DBraun/ChucKDesigner and watch the walkthrough video: https://youtu.be/TmJQh1lWXso TouchDesigner is a great way to make generative graphics, build user interfaces, and process data from many real-time inputs such as depth cameras, skeleton tracking and more. I hope ChucK users find ChucKDesigner as a useful bridge to it and that more TouchDesigner users find their way to ChucK. Cross-pollination! Best, David

Re: [chuck-users] Ragged object array
by David Loberg Code 07 Jan '22

Dana, I realize that this example is a 2D array, but does this workaround accomplish what you want? int meta[2][2]; [0, 1, 2, 3] @=> int b[]; [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] @=> int c[]; b @=> meta[0]; c @=> meta[1]; for (int i; i< b.size(); i++) { <<< " b["+i+"] ==", meta[0][i] >>>; } for (int i; i< c.size(); i++) { <<< "c["+i+"] ==", meta[1][i] >>>; } Santé, davd ----------------- David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan code(a)wmich.edu any pronouns ________________________________

Ragged object array
by Dana Batali 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Fellow ChucK users: can anyone comment on the possibility of achieving a ragged object array in ChucK? By ragged array, I mean an array of arrays of Objects as opposed to a 2D array. The docs state that an array is an Object, so it's within the realm of possible, by my current guess is that it's not possible to cast an Object to an array so that I can invoke, eg, it's size method. Any comments appreciated! Thanks in advance, Dana Here's some not-quite working code: // this part works. Object @ meta[]; // an array of arrays of objects (ragged) for(int i;i<10;i++) { Object subarray[0]; meta << subarray; } // here's the problem: // Object has no method size() (compile-time failure) // <<< "element[2] size: " , meta[2].size() >>>; // so the solution must involve a cast operation // but this produces a syntax error (meta[2] $ Object[]) @=> Object a[]; <<< a.size() >>>;
