Kill Yr Tunings (Rational + Tonality classes)
by Andrew C. Smith 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hey, I've got a prototype here for a couple of classes to make something similar to SC's Tuning / Scale classes. I've attached the two class files (Rational_io.ck and Tonality_io.ck, which extends Rational) and one test file (iotest.ck). The key is that you have to have the new CVS installed and running properly (FileIO and Arrays--standard miniAudicle build won't work), and you have to drop the files partch.rational and otonal1.tonality in the same directory that you ChucK from. Rational is a static class, so that it can be changed or shifted by an external shred OTF if needed, but Tonality is not static. The idea behind this is so that I could have different channels playing different tonalities, so that there could be shifts in the tonality structure within a particular tuning. I'm using Partch's for now, but I'd like to develop my own 80-something ratio tuning to select from. For now, otonal1.tonality contains a nice mixture of 7s and 5s and 3s with one 11 in there. It has no relation to Partch's first Otonality, because I wanted to keep it wrapping at the keyboard "octave." Also, in case you're confused "Diaspon" is the Greek notation for the 2/1 interval, and seems to be more accurate than the loaded "octave," while still managing to convey the ratio in words. I'm completely open to more suggestions. This has been a long-term thought and a very short-term development period, so there's got to be more stuff to implement. Particularly, I envision experimental keyboards controlling ChucK over OSC in 8-channel surround sound with electric guitars and a full chorus and brass band (Plork want in on this?). Thanks again to the list members who have helped me in the past couple days. .zip is attached. Andrew Smith

Netlabel Releases ChucK Program
by Les Hall 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

We got like 200 downloads on the Boolean Sequencing album that I created using an automatic song generator created with ChucK, so we decided to release the software on the EDP netlabel. See here for linkie: http://doporto.pt.to/ And scroll down to see the blurb about the software. In just a few days there have been 12 downloads (not much I know), so there might be close to 12 new ChucK users running the code. This is a great way to spread the word of ChucK, if you feel like evangelizing. I can hook you up with ocp, who runs the EDP netlabel, if you have similar work to distribute. Les

ChucK compilation error (still, again?) -- similar to the Ubuntu GCC 4.3 problem
by Andrew C. Smith 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hey all, So, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (anyone else? I feel like the list's guinea pig here) and now I'm getting awful compilation errors. "gcc" gives me 4.2.1, as does g++, so it's not the exact same as the 4.3 problem from the forum. Before, I could download the CVS and compile straight-through, but now I get this: $ make osx make -f makefile.osx gcc -D__MACOSX_CORE__ -c -O3 rtmidi.cpp rtmidi.cpp: In function ‘int get_device_name(SInt32, char*, int)’: rtmidi.cpp:295: error: cannot convert ‘void**’ to ‘MIDIObjectRef*’ for argument ‘2’ to ‘OSStatus MIDIObjectFindByUniqueID(MIDIUniqueID, MIDIObjectRef*, MIDIObjectType*)’ rtmidi.cpp:304: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘MIDIDeviceRef’ loses precision rtmidi.cpp:306: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘MIDIEntityRef’ loses precision rtmidi.cpp:312: error: cast from ‘void*’ to ‘MIDIEndpointRef’ loses precision rtmidi.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void RtMidiIn::openPort(unsigned int)’: rtmidi.cpp:521: warning: NULL used in arithmetic rtmidi.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void RtMidiOut::openPort(unsigned int)’: rtmidi.cpp:692: warning: NULL used in arithmetic make[1]: *** [rtmidi.o] Error 1 make: [osx] Error 2 (ignored) I have XCode 3.2, which came with gcc 4.2.1. The only reason I've started with the compilation thing lately is because I wanted to check out UGens and things--purely exploratory. I have a fully-compiled version of the mini around, so I can still ChucK, but this is definitely bothering me. Any ideas? Andrew

tracking bugs
by Kassen 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Fellow ChucKists, I made a start adding the open bugs here http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Bugs/Release I added these from memory and by searching the list archives, there are likely more. I'm sure the DEV's also have their own list but I feel a open list, accessible to both the developers and to bug hunters will help clear up what are known issues to users as well as help create a "to do list". If anyone has favourite bugs to add, please do. We slacked on this a bit, in recent times. Yours, Kas.

Issue with chuck otf command on Windows Vista

Hi, I have a problem with chuck command on Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit).

"make" not compiling -- Snow Leopard
by Andrew C. Smith 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Don't really know who to turn to here, so I'm coming to you. I used to be able to very easily compile ChucK (plus the mini in a recent post) but "make" doesn't seem to be working for me now that I've got Snow Leopard. Would the new OS override or delete some previous compiler? Related but sort of unrelated question: why won't the xcode project for ChucK work? I get an error that it's missing its project.pbxproj file. But if there's a chuck.xcode file, it would seem that someone somewhere is building ChucK with xcode. Any takers or either of these? This is sort of an either/or question--if you fix one of my problems then I'll stop caring about the other one. Andrew

Re: [chuck-users] chuck shell... --> My vim usage
by Bill Nye 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

> From: kurt <sobrilliant(a)gmail.com> > I like the Mini but I really like Vim. That is > really the only reason I use the shell. When I heard mention of vim I thought I would share what I use to test chuck code snippets, directly from inside vim. To get alignment, be sure to view the following with a fixed-width font. It consists of one bash script, a symbolic link, and, on Win, a .bat file. In the main bash script below, the second 'cat' line returns the same stdin chuck code lines back into vim, followed then by chuck's stdout. (Of course, you also hear the chuck output, if any.) I'm sorry to say that after days of trying, I could not get chuck to play, and also deliver its stdout in just one invocation, hence the two chuck.exe lines. FILE ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi (Win version) #! /bin/bash # chuck_execution_in_vi -- Typically used in vi as: # :'a,.!chu to leave original lines and also # return Chuck execution output. tmp="/tmp/tmp.chu.ck.$$" cat > $tmp cat $tmp cmd /c start "`cygpath -w ~/bin/chuck.exe`" $tmp "`cygpath -w ~/bin/chuck.exe`" --silent $tmp \ 2>&1 | tr -d '\015' rm -f $tmp exit TESTS: Sit on next line in vim and type :.!chu <<< "Hello" >>>; You should see in vim after the '<<<' code line: "Hello" : (string) Sit on 'now' line and type :-,.!chu SinOsc s => dac; 1::second => now; FILE ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi (Mac version) #! /bin/bash # chuck_execution_in_vi tmp="/tmp/tmp.chu.ck.$$" cat > $tmp cat $tmp chuck $tmp 2>&1 rm -f $tmp On Mac and Win (cygwin) I have this symbolic link to cut down on typing: ~/bin/chu -> ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi On Win, I also need this parallel .bat file: (I set the 2 env vars in my .profile) FILE ~/bin/chu.bat @ECHO OFF PATH %WPROGRAMS%\cygwin\bin;%PATH% %WPROGRAMS%\cygwin\bin\bash %WHOME%\bin\chu %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Of course, this only works well if the chuck code terminates on its own. I don't know what this can do for --loop or shreds but it may give you some ideas. Incidentally, on both Mac and Win I have QuicKeys, so I just do 'ma' (to mark the snippet beginning) move to the end, and type Ctrl-Shift-C , which simply types :'a,.!chu for me. -Bill

Problems compiling and running ChucK on Arch Linux
by Sean Sawyer 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi, I'm a ChucK newbie running on Arch Linux (gcc 4.4.1, libsndfile 1.0.20, ALSA 1.0.20, flex 2.5.35, bison 2.4.1, make 3.81). When compiling ChucK, g++ complains that the function sprintf is undeclared in util_string.cpp. Sure enough, stdio.h is not included in util_string.h (or in chuck_def.h). After adding the following line to either util_string.h or chuck_def.h, ChucK compiles successfully - but I then get seg faults when running simple example code (e.g., examples/moe.ck). Any ideas? Verbose output from ChucK leading up to the seg fault is below.

static function overloading
by Kassen 08 Sep '09

Fellow ChucKists, Is there a reason why static functions can't be overloaded when the class they are a member of is extended? i don't (yet?) see why this would need to be so and it seems limiting. Yours, Kas.

The ChucK Show
by Les Hall 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi folks, Last week on The Game Show we had plenty of ChucK. It was a hilarious time and we all enjoyed it. Next week: PLOrk and beans again! PLOrk as we all know is the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, and beans are the various ChucKists who contribute code. We'll have some most excellent music by Ben Zimmerman and a really good rendition of "Iron Man" by appleseedj and myself. Should be worth a listen at 7pm EST this Friday on www.electro-music.com radio. See you then! Les

One bit ChucK
by Hans Aberg 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Have you discussed giving ChucK a 1-bit audio model? See for example: http://img3.harmony-central.com/Video/aes121/Korg_1-Bit_Recording_tutorial.… http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2007/08/02/revie… It is essentially a raw format for audio. So it might help taking out those rough edges in the preprocessing. Hans

Good Moog, bad error (bug)

Dear list, Right now I'm having lots of fun with the Moog UGen, but when we mistakenly give it parameters out of range then the resulting error message is incorrect and potentially confusing; consider; Moog bob; 1.1 => bob.filterQ; this will give us; [chuck](via STK): Moog: Control value greater than 128.0!

Are array types really classes ?
by Cyrille.Damez＠laposte.net 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hi list, I am currently learning Chuck, so I this may sound like a silly question. The language specification states that arrays are objects, but I can't find the proper syntax to declare a class that extends an array type. Since, as far as I understood, float[] is a reference to an array of floats, I was not really surprised that Chuck does not accept "class foo extends float[]", but what would the proper syntax be, if that is possible at all ? Thanks

chuck and jack
by Bozelos Dimitris 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hello, I'm using chuck under linux with jack audio server. Although it is working generally fine, sometimes I get unexpected clicks with error messages in the jack window and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. I suspect that it is a problem with how linux handles interrupts in real time. The reason I'm posting here is that I think that the cause might be that I'm often printing on the terminal with <<< >>>; and that, I think demands an interrupt. Because the request comes from chuck which is granted real time priority by jack, it might interrupt the audio and at some points I get these clicks. Does this make sense? Has anyone encountered a similar problem with chuck and jack? In this case, has anyone used any alternative way of getting feedback from chuck? Maybe, instead of formatting a string and printing on a terminal, send a string through osc to some other interface which would update a constantly displayed message or variable which might be less demanding and not real time priority? Any ideas of what this could be? That is similar to another problem I have encountered so far, many times I would like to keep an eye to various parameters, both current values and how they change over time, but printing the value on the terminal only when it changes is not enough. Any ideas welcome. Cheers, Dimitris ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

Full path with drive letters?
by Chris McDaniel 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, I'm using chuck in windows (7 RC) and I'm seeing something quite odd... When I execute something like: E:\tools\chuck-1.2.1.2-exe\bin>chuck.exe "e:\tools\OSCSurface\ osc_surface_example.ck" I get this as a result: [e]: no such file or directory So, either Chuck doesn't know drive letters, or Windows 7 is doing something odd. Can anyone confirm? Note that this: E:\tools\chuck-1.2.1.2-exe\bin>chuck.exe "\tools\OSCSurface\ osc_surface_example.ck" Works fine, but I'm giving OSCSurface a try and that's not the way it likes to work...

Kassen, I didn't tune the chime, ran out of time. Maybe I can work on it this week. We has SO MUCH FUN on the game show last week that now I've decided to do another game show next week. In addition to the main theme of "name that tune" and the secondary theme of "the gong show", I think I'll add a choice of "door number one, door number two, and door number three". Should be a great time as everyone enjoyed it last week. There will of course be plenty of ChucK from various artists on the game show. Les

Using UGen as a function arg
by Andrew C. Smith 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hey everyone, I just found out that you could use more specific classes as function arguments (I know, a little slow). So, I've got: fun void modulator (UGen a, DelayL b) ... while(1) { a.last()::ms => b.delay; 1::samp => now; } and it totally works! Here's the catch: is there a way to make something like this that will work for more general classes? I mean, why don't DelayL and DelayA and Delay all inherit from some more general class that uses a dummy "delay" and "max" argument, so that we can build some awesome functions that have universal applications? There could be an oscillator class to encompass everything with a freq, phase, and sync attribute, and so many others that would make modulating so much easier. I expect there to be a totally reasonable answer, because I don't really know much about programming at all, but this seems like it would make sense. Or, is there a way to do what I want to do (build more general modulation functions) within the existing framework? I'd ideally like something that can spork a shred to modulate a random parameter, then fade out at the end, so that it's like the signal is receiving random interference that makes it ring mod or something. I can probably figure out how to do it with millions of lines of code, but the more work it is the less likely it is that I'll finish it. Thanks everyone. Andrew

NYC-Based ChucKists: "Cloud Seeding" Sept. 1st @ The Stone, 8pm
by mike clemow 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, If any of you are in or will be in the New York City area this coming Tuesday, I'm playing an hour-long set at a place called The Stone that will be all about Granular Synthesis / Resynthesis in a performance setting. If you'll be in the area, it will be a cool show to see--everything is written in ChucK. I'm planning on doing a quasi-participatory didactic thing with the audience to teach them about granular synthesis as I demonstrate the instruments I've built, so it's a little non-traditional as far as concert flow. Even if you won't be in the area, you might want to take a look through my (spaghetti) code. As Kassen can tell you, my attempts at doing granular synthesis in ChucK border on obsession and have spent a long time trying to squeeze out as much performance while keeping it as easy to program as possible. For this show, I've built instruments that take their spectral profiles from small audio files that I've run through the Spear program for analysis (http://www.klingbeil.com/spear/). Spear does "Sinusoidal Partial Editing Analysis and Resynthesis" and does a really good job at FFT analysis with transient sharpening and all kinds of other goodies. Spear outputs its information as a text file and I'm using the file IO routines that are currently only in the bleeding-edge CVS version of ChucK to parse these files into reasonably useful datasets. Then I'm using standard HID stuff and a modified gamepad for interaction. It's far from perfect, but it's a playable prototype. I'll have this stuff organized and posted on my website and github by the show date (hopefully). I'd really love to get some feedback on the code for the future. Plus, if anyone is interested in getting a head start parsing Spear files with ChucK, this might be helpful. There's a possibility that I'll document the show, so there might also be video at some point. -Mike "Cloud Seeding" Performing Granular Synthesis Tuesday, Sept. 1st - 8pm @ The Stone - www.thestonenyc.com $10 -- http://michaelclemow.com http://semiotech.org

analysis examples
by Kassen 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Dear Ge & Rebecca, The previous version of ChucK had a /examples/analysis/tracking directory with a great example called "tracking.ck" in it. In the latest download that's gone. It's not so clear to me why that example should be gone because that happened to be the one that makes it clear how the numbers in the array that FFT yields relate to frequencies in the most clear way. On top of that it's fun and practical. As interesting as the examples with the current release might be they don't really make it clear what they are trying to accomplish and how. They run... they computate some numbers and print them but it's not explained what those numbers represent or why we would be interested in them. Because of a recent question on the forum about pitch tracking/detection I dug up the old example to post as a explanation and had to wonder about the how and why of the current range of examples. Much of it is quite baffeling to me; I'd be hard pressed to explain what goes on in the fft examples and the feedback they use. The code of the tracking one may be far longer and more involved but it's purpose is clear, it invites "poking around" and so I think it makes for a practically educational example to include. Yours, Kas.

The ChucK Gong Show
by Les Hall 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

OK, news: The ChucK Show has degenerated into The Gong Show with both reckless joy and disgrace, ah well. We're going to do a "Name - that - tune" style show next friday at 7pm EST on www.electro-music.com and it will also be like "The Gong Show". Everyone in the chatroom gets one gong. We try to name that tune but if someone gets sick of the song they can gong it with their one and only gong. Of course, once someone has gonged we are all free to commence gonging until the hosts notice or whatever. So gong only once yet gong at will. Aside from that points will be tallied up for who first mentions the artist, title, and instrument of the song. So you can win up to three points per song. The judging will be randomly and haphazardly done by whoever is appointed plus me at the moment. So join us, and I also have a request... I need game show sounds in ChucK to add to my controller program for the show. A big old gong would be nice, plus maybe some buzzers or whatever. If you would like to contribute to the show's sound effects please post your code to this list or to the forum. Thanks, Comically yours, Les
