looking for interview participant(s) for PhD thesis - questions on extending ChucK
by Andrew Telichan Phillips 09 May '20

09 May '20

Hello all - I am writing my phd thesis (at NYU) on a comparative study of musical programming languages and the social structures that surround them. I am particularly interested right now in user community development. I am looking to interview someone who has experience making contributions to ChucK through writing and contributing classes, ugens or extensions of library functions. If you are interested, I’d like to hear about your experience in terms of the step-by-step process, from programming, test case reviewing, squashing (if that term applies), communications, etc. It would be preferred if you’ve gone through this process with ChucK start to front. We can do the interview one-on-one remotely (around 30-40 minutes); email communications would be fine, too, if more comfortable. I will ask you to sign a consent form where you can specify if you would like to be identified in the context of the thesis or in further publications. Please let me know, and feel free to reach out: amp515(a)nyu.edu

thanks for the update! ChucK doesn't seem to be able to hear adc in my shreds, though. The internal mic is audible in Live but I can't get it to register in ChucK, even with something as simple as adc => dac; 100::second => now; I tried it with an outboard mic as well, same thing. do I need to tweak something? I'm running Mojave (10.14.6) on a 2014 MacBook Air.

ChucK => Artful Design TV
by Ge Wang 02 May '20

02 May '20

Dear ChucKists, I hope this finds you well. Since April, I have been hosting a Zoom series called Artful Design TV (COVID-19 Edition): a multi-format weekly series encompassing artful design, music, coding, critical making with helpings of history and philosophy, and life check-ins for participants. No experience is needed; it's free and all are welcome. https://artful.design/tv/ This coming Wednesday (5/6) at 1pm PDT/UTC-7, join us live for an episode all about ChucK. Perry Cook, Spencer Salazar, and I will host to unpack the arcane art of programming language design, write some code to make music, gaze into the abyss of the ChucK virtual machine, and more. In a word: fun!

Efficient analysis & resynthesis for game audio
by S. Elliot Perez 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hello! I've been using Pure Data and the Heavy compiler (hvcc) to make procedural audio for games/interactive media pieces the last couple of years. I just started going through the videos of the Kadenze course. The first couple of lessons, I did what Mr. Cook was doing in his ChucK software using Pure Data... but then I got to Session 3 where he showcases a method of resynthesis using two scripts- one to analyze a sound file and output a list of peaks (frequency and amplitude), and one to perform the resynthesis. I was very impressed with how quickly this goes as you can just copy and paste the list from the 1st list into the 2nd one and you already have a working model which you can then begin to tweak. With Pure Data, this would be an exponentially more arduous process of manually looking at a spectral analysis, filling out boxes, connecting them with wires, copying & pasting for each frequency... I'm curious as to what the possibilities of integrating these ChucK algorithms into standard programming languages like C++/C# for use in game engines. On the download page of ChuCK it says that the newest versions are made to be embedded in other systems. Is there documentation detailing this somewhere? -- *Ｓ・エリオット・ペレスwww.selliotp.com <http://www.selliotp.com>*Sound Designer for * enenインタラクティブサウンドディザイン* [image: http://enengame.com/] <https://youtu.be/xYpc9agfil8> *「エンエン」は日本のAppStoreでリリースされました！* [image: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/enen/id1164297889?ls=1&mt=8] <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/enen/id1164297889?ls=1&mt=8>

chuck hoarding the soundcard
by Geoff Little 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi chuck-users, Not sure if this mailing list is still in use but I've signed up for the chuck course on kadenze and am having issues after installing chuck. I'm on Debian bullseye which is the current (as of April 2020) testing release. I've git clone'd the chuck repo and make'd and make install'd. I tried both `make linux-pulse` and `make linux-alsa`. My version of chuck is 1.4.0.1. I'm able to run ck files through `chuck` and hear output as expected, for example echo " SinOsc s => dac; 0.6 => s.gain; 220 => s.freq; 1::second => now; " | chuck /dev/fd/0 plays the expected sound and exits cleanly. However, if I'm watching a tutorial video on kadenze or youtube (in firefox if that matters), I get unexpected results when I run the above command. I see [chuck]: RtApiAlsa::getDeviceInfo: snd_pcm_open error for device (hw:0,0), Device or resource busy. Similarly if I run `speaker-test`--while this is running and making noise, `chuck` spits out the same resource busy error. However, if I run `speaker-test` and play a youtube video, it works as expected, the speaker-test noise and youtube noise mix and play at the same time. Interestingly, if I run `chuck` with nothing else and get the expected sound and soon after start `speaker-test`, `speaker-test` will wait / not start until `chuck` exists, suggesting that chuck somehow "hoards" the soundcard so that other sound-producing apps can't get access and mix-in. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I believe (I'm not 100% sure as I'm not very familiar with sound hardware and software) I have both alsa and pulseaudio? This is why I tried make'ing with both. I'm not sure how they interact. Thanks and hope everyone is staying safe and home, Geoff

Hi, I just got my Bela board, and I was wondering if anybody has done anything with ChucK on it. I found this https://forum.bela.io/d/117-chuck so it seems somebody could have done something. Cheers, Mario

This is truly odd. I don’t have easy means to test it. I don’t know why it wouldbe broken dependent on the dac, however. For fun you might try something like this, just to verify that the valueAt() function is what’s busted.

sndBuf.valueAt
by Forrest Curo 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Using chuck linux-jack this gives me reasonable numbers between -1 and 1. Using chuck linux-alsa I'm able to play the file I've read into sndBuf; but trying to copy it via .valueAt gives absurdly high ["out of range"] numbers at each point. [It can be a different high number different times I run chuck, but the number it is turns up at every point I sample.] Is there a fix for this? Aside from using jack on a computer where it befnurgles the midi?
