Feature request: compression

I'd love a compression effect in ChucK. Any chance of adding one as an object, or can anyone make one with a script? Ollie

OneZero example
by Atte André Jensen 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hi Ok, I'm interested in getting some basic filtering going, first maybe just a simple low pass filter. So I received my copy of "Real Sound Synthesis". Section 3.9 suggests a low pass filter could be realized with a one-zero filter with "a" set between 0 and 1. Looking at http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen_full.html#OneZero I don't see any "a", and where in the book can I read about b0 and b1. Moreover I wasn't able to locate any example code using OneZero, so if someone could provide me with a (couple of) simple example(s), I'd really appreciate it... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quartet: http://www.anagrammer.dk http://www.atte.dk/gps | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

miniAudicle - chuck source font size
by Tyler Gillies 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Just built miniAudicle on a linux laptop with a small screen, and the font in the editor is way too small! Looks like this is hardcoded to size 10 on line 65 of mAView.cpp. Is changing the source the only way to set the font size for the editor? Once again, great little IDE! - Tyler

Hi all. I've just published in my blog a little exercise in chuck. It's a reproduction of "clapping music" by steve reich. http://www.jesusgollonet.com/blog/?p=133 Although they're in the blog post, I'll put the code and audio in the wiki if there is interest.

include in 1.2.0.6
by Atte André Jensen 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi Am I (along with grep in examples/) right in assuming that the previously discussed include statement didn't make it's way into 1.2.0.6? If so, any changes on the cpu-eating problem I had with machine.add? IOW; is there any change in behavior of garbage collection between 1.2.0.6-rc3 and 1.2.0.6? Finally; what are the options for emulating some way of include functionality in 1.2.0.6? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quartet: http://www.anagrammer.dk http://www.atte.dk/gps | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

Re: [chuck-users] list of keywords for syntax coloring
by jes�s gollonet 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

-- Thanks very much. In fact, i was just having a look at your excellent oscsurface to see how you were doing it :) i was thinking of differentiating a little more: - keywords (datatypes, reserverd words, control structures...) - ugens (sound related classes... adc, dac, Sitar, ...) - methods (freq, noteOn...) As far as i see both your program and the miniaudicle (in the screenshots) highlight keywords, numbers, strings and comments... i think it makes sense (at least from a pedagogical point of view) to differentiate, for example, sound generating devices from plain programming keywords so i needed a more exhaustive list. perhaps i'll end up with a messy rainbow... let me know what you think.

list of keywords for syntax coloring
by Your Name 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Hi, chuckers. I've recently began chucking again. By now I use http://www.jedit.org as my all-purpose editor, and I've seen it as a good fit for chuck (configurable syntax highlighting, abbreviations which make typing faster, command-line integration...). I'm working on an edit mode for it to enable syntax coloring and, as I 've seen that now the miniAudicle features it, I'd like to be as consistent as I could with the way it treats keywords, ugens, constants and everything, ... So I was wondering if there is a list of keywords or something which i could take advantage of (at the moment i'm just copying from the reference and adding format up to me). I haven't found anything in the wiki... Thanks a lot. -- jesús gollonet http://www.jesusgollonet.com/blog/

Question about OSC and Network Connections
by Mike McGonagle 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hi all, I was in the process of testing some code that I have that is using OSC, and in these tests, I got an error from ChucK saying that a port was busy and it could not connect. This was because I had another process running (dumpOSC from the OSC site) on that port. This seems normal in that ChucK complained about this. My trouble is that once I stopped the dumpOSC process, ChucK still would not connect to that port AND it didn't give any warnings or error messages saying that it would not connect. The only way that I was able to connect was to restart ChucK. I am not quite positive if just restarting the Compiler (using miniAudicle [latest]) would have been enough, as I restarted the whole program. Once I did this, my code worked fine. Is there a way that ChucK could be made to NOT fail when these things happen? It seems to me that this would be in line with the "on the fly" concept. I would think that ChucK should be able to detect, at any time, if a port was in use or not, and return the appropriate error message, or connect if it is unused.

warning: new chuck (bug fixes)
by Ge Wang 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi! We are about to release new chuck/miniAudicle/audicle (announcements will be sent to [chuck] and [audicle]). It still won't have garbage collection or string manipulations, but several of the known long-standing bugs have been fixed, including multiple declarations, sporking member functions, ++/--, miniAudicle fixes, and more undocumented audicle features. Garbage collection will require several wide-area changes, and we would like to get a relatively stable pre-gc version of things out. If you like, test things a bit and let us know, once the new versions are out. So uh, stay tuned. This is only a warning. Thanks! chuck team
