chuck for live performance
by Jacob Doran 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hey Chuck Users, I'm a computer programmer, guitarist and singer who lives in London. Recently I have moved away from pure acoustic performances and have been using boss loop pedal and effects in gigs which has been fantastic but I'm already finding limitations. Then I had the idea that I might be able merge my programming skills with my music and program my own loop pedal rig using ChuCK software and a midi foot controller. It would be able to loop my guitar and voice multiple times live (like traditional loop pedals), turn loops on and off, and also apply real time manipulation, ping pong delays, pitch shifting, algorithmic harmonizations and who knows what else. I would control this all with a midi foot controller and a laptop while I play and sing. I was wondering if anyone has tried doing this type of thing before? A lot of what I have read seams to be more about virtual synthesis rather than real time audio manipulation/looping in a live performance? Is this something ChuCK could do well? What about performance, stability, or latency? I'm going to download ChuCK and play around to try and find these answers myself soon but any useful pointers and suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help, Jacob http://myspace.com/jacobdoran/

Hello Love the idea of ChucK and computer aided composition (call it what you will) is intriguing. I am new to this area and I'd love to hear/see anything that's being produced by ChucK users. I don't mean a page of code that produces one noise but full pieces of music/sound design etc.... A group of people produced a CD using Supercollider which worked well and was inspiring. Is there anything out there like this? I've looked through the tutorials/examples and there are a few things in there but would like to hear things produced by users? Cheers James

osx vs. chuck vs. jackrouter
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano 07 May '10

07 May '10

Hi chuckers (chuckists?)... anyone out there with experience in the combination outlined in the subject line? ChucK is not really happy running on top of jack - under osx using jackrouter, see link below. The best we could do with Michael this afternoon (cc'ed) is to get chuck running with 2 output channels and that took some parameter tweaking. Selecting more channels would make chuck die with an error message (this is from the command line, sorry, I don't have the messages, Michael: could you post them and the command line arguments we used?) In case somebody wants to test: http://www.jackosx.com/ (we used version 0.86 which has support for netjack netone which is what we would be most interested in using). Thanks for any help... -- Fernando

Is ChucK still developped ?
by Thomas Girod 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi there. I'm currently making a small app using ChucK, and I find this language marvelous - truly, I find it much easier to get things done with ChucK than with SuperCollider. But at the same time, it's pretty obvious that the language still have a few caveats, stuff that is not implemented yet. Looking at the dev list, I can see there isn't much activity around this project anymore. So, is the project dying ? T

Tabula Rasa + 3D Sound in ChucK
by Brutus Gates 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hi, I started learning ChucK but then realized I wouldn't be able to make simple graphics to help me debug my program (is that actually the case?)... if so too bad... Also, AudioTwist is a pd external that does 3D sound well and has many features. My questions: 1. When is Tabula Rasa coming out? I'm assuming you will be able to draw things (kinda like processing) from inside ChucK. (unless, of course you can make simple graphics in ChucK already?) 2. Is anyone going to port AudioTwist (www.sat.qc.ca), or write similar 3D audio objects for ChucK? Can you do 3D audio in ChucK already?

static array of ugens???
by Kurt Kotheimer 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hello all- So I think I have figured out all the ins and outs of making static arrays and static UGens but I cannot figure out how to make a static array of static UGens. Maybe this is not possible. Thanks in advance. Later. Kurt. ........................................................ http://www.kurtKotheimer.com .......................................................

LAC
by Kassen 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Fellow ChucKists, At the start of the next month the city of Utrecht (NL, EU) will host this year's Linux Audio Conference. There I'll do a workshop on ChucK but there will also be a panel discussion on various programmable open systems for audio (SC, PD, CSound, Nyquist, maybe more). This should help clear up many of the things that are unclear (to many) about the differences between these systems. The results of this will be posted online where they will hopefully help prevent flame-wars or at least give more substance to any that do arise. Of course this will involve some quick demonstrations. This leads to the question of what ChucK is especially good for as compared to other systems. Time for this will be brief in this context so I'd like to show some good stuff. I have some ideas of my own but I'd like to consult the list too. What's especially useful/fun to you? What (positively) surprised you compared to other systems? Debate, anecdotes and code examples are all welcome. Do come shake hands if you end up going to the LAC; at 2m with a afro I'm quite hard to miss. Yours, Kas.

wiimote hacks?
by David Loberg Code 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I have seen scattered postings related to wiimotes and ChucK, but nothing definitive. Is anyone out there using wii-remotes or nunchuks as controllers for ChucK? Are there any wikis or recipes for this kind of hack? If not wii, is there some similar game controller (e.g., wireless with motion sensor and buttons) that is more easily adaptable to ChucK? david David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 code(a)wmich.edu
