Hi Brad "variety is the spice of life", that's right! I didn't know rtcmix, it deserves a closer look. For now, I added it to the "other languages" forum. Any french speaking user of rtcmix is welcome to make it better known! emoc ps : Nantes's great, with many sound activists On 3/19/08, Brad Garton <garton(a)columbia.edu> wrote: > Hey Mr. Emoc -- > > You might want to add RTcmix (http://rtcmix.org) to the list of free, > open-source > music synthesis/sig-processing packages.

codelab.fr, forum francophone pour ChucK
by emoc * 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

En français (désolé pour les envois multiples) Codelab.fr est un nouveau forum francophone consacré à la création d'images, de vidéo, de son et de musique par le code (chuck, processing, supercollider, livecode, pure-data / gem, vvvv, etc.) ou l'expérimentation électronique (construction d'interfaces et d'instruments, circuit-bending, etc.) Les logiciels et langages abordés sur le forum sont open-source (sauf vvvv, gratuit pour usage non commercial). C'est un espace de partage d'idées, d'entraide pour les utilisateurs de ces outils, et d'accueil pour les débutants qui pourront y trouver des conseils pour démarrer. Un forum annonces est également disponible pour présenter les manifestations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc. qui donnent une place à ces pratiques. For english readers (sorry for cross posting) : Codelab.fr is a new french speaking forum devoted to the experimental practices for creation of pictures, videos, sound and music by code (chuck, processing, supercollider, livecode, pure-data, gem, vvvv, etc) or electronic experimentation (interfaces and instruments, circuit-bending, etc.) The software and languages approached on the forum are open-source (except for vvvv which is free for a not-commercial use). It is a crossroads where users could meet and help themselves. Beginners are welcome, and will be able to find some advices and help to start creative code programming. A forum is also available to announce demonstrations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc for these practices. http://codelab.fr If anyone interested : a Syntaxhighlighter brush file was made to highlight ChucK code in web context (javascript client-side way), feel free to ask!

Re: [chuck-users] unsporking [bug?]

I think we may have a bug; the following compiles and the id is right but the shred doesn't die when it should. Quite weird. Kas. ---------------------------------- fun void foo() { .5::second => now; <<<"yeah">>>; minute => now; } spork ~foo() @=> Shred bar; second => now; <<<bar.id()>>>; second => now; bar.exit(); 2::second => now;

unsporking
by kevin 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

I couldn't find this in a search, but I'm not exactly sure what it's called. I'd like to be able to unspork (despork?) a shred sometime after i've sporked it, based on OSC input. is there a convenient way to do this? thanks -k

Running Chuck without install on OS X?
by Alexander Refsum Jensenius 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I have been testing out ChucK and SMELT on an undergrad class here lately, but one problem is that the students don't have sudo-access to the computers, and the admin people don't want to put ChucK on all the computers in all the labs... Is there a way to run ChucK from where it is, and without having to put it in /usr/bin/? Thanks, Alexander

Problem building miniAudicle (Linux)
by Mr.SpOOn 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, I am completely new to Chuck. I am trying to get it working on Linux Ubuntu 7.10. I installed Chuck with no problem, so when I type "chuck" in the shell, I get: [chuck]: no input files... (try --help) I followed the instructions for building miniAudicle, and now when I go in the directory wxw/ and type ./miniAudicle I get the following error: ./miniAudicle: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_stc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I think I have already installed the wx-widget. So, what am I missing? Thanks

A simple but amusing experiment in syntax. I'm not sure yet if it's actually good for anything but it's kind of interesting and it works so I thought I'd share. Cheers, Kas. ===============================================- class War extends Event { spork ~foo(); fun void foo() { while(1) { this => now; <<<"hello">>>; } } } War war; second => now; war.signal(); second => now; =========================

Bay Area Computer Music Technology Group, Thursday March 6th @ Songbird
by Noah Thorp 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

The Bay Area Computer Music Technology Group Thursday, March 6th, 7:30 - 9:30pm @ Songbird (http://www.songbirdnest.com/) 585 Howard Street, Second Floor, SF RSVP Here: http://electronicmusic.meetup.com/152/calendar/6921804/ Thanks to Songbird for hosting our event this month and for providing refreshments! Please RSVP here so we know you are coming: http://electronicmusic.meetup.com/152/calendar/6921804/ Our presentations this month will be: - Andy Schmeder (UC Berkeley CNMAT) on the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol. Other CNMAT OSC contributors will be in attendance to contribute to the talk and field various questions. http://opensoundcontrol.org/ - Jonas Norberg will present on his Open Source analogue synth VST plugin - Helix. Learn more and hear some great samples at: http://www.audjoo.com/Helix.html - Peter Nyober on the Livid instruments OHM controller: http://www.lividinstruments.com/hardware_ohm.php - Presentation by The Pioneer's of the Inevitable on extending their Mozilla based Songbird music media platform: http://www.songbirdnest.com/ - A lightning talk by you? (5 minute presentation - come with your laptop) OSC Presentation Since it's introduction in 1997 by CNMAT researchers Matt Wright and Adrian Freed, the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol has been successfully integrated into dozens of hardware and software products, and used in thousands of performances and installations. OSC goes beyond MIDI by addressing needs specific to musical performance with new electronic instruments such as high-bandwidth connectivity, precise temporal semantics and temporal regularization, extensibility and rich type support, human readability and state-free operation. The OSC protocol itself has a simple structure making it easy to integrate into new applications, but an appreciation for the underlying design principles is necessary to leverage its full capabilities. This talk will cover the basics of using and programming OSC with demonstrations of hardware and software implementations. We will then dive into the details and discuss best-practices for creating OSC implementations that relate to issues in musical control, with an emphasis on temporal semantics and related algorithms. The conclusion will include an overview of recent research and anticipated future developments. Additional talks by Jonas, Peter, and Songbird should be quite interesting as well although there is less verbiage for them at this time. All the best, Noah Thorp Bay Area Computer Music Technology Group Organizer BIOS Andrew (Andy) Water Schmeder was born on November 26 1978 at home in Point Richmond, California. He received a BA in Mathematics from UC Berkeley (2002) and now works as a research programmer at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, UC Berkeley. His favorite programming language is Mathematica, and his favorite fruit is the avocado. His heros are Spiderman and Marvin the Depressed Android. Songbird is developed by a band of experienced, dedicated software developers and designers called the Pioneers of the Inevitable. Their previous hatchlings include Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine. They support the Mozilla Foundation's mission to preserve innovation and choice on the Internet. Their mission is to incubate Songbird, the first Web player, to catalyze and champion a diverse, open Media Web. Peter Nyober is Director of Software at Livid and manages all software programming, design, and production. After years of audio manipulation, Peter started to dive into the world of real-time video manipulation in 1999 when he designed a four screen video sampler for San Francisco's Recombinant Media Labs to be used in that year's Ars Electronica performance showcase. He has continued to create real-time interactive software for audio and video manipulation, and has independently produced a number of programs prior to working with Livid, including of the first hybrid DJ/VJ software called Yowstar. He has also assisted in a number of custom softwares, installations, and performances for a number of artists, including Mix Master Mike, Ikue Mori, Thomas Dolby, DJ Sasha, and Bob Ostertag. He graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Applied Mathematics and has continued to apply them in code, performance, and daily life. Jonas Norberg was born in Hudiksvall, Sweden in 1977. After studying music in Highschool he switched to Computing Science for University. In the days (and some nights) he works as a software engineer at Lucasarts. In his free time he develops a free software synthesizer and takes weekly voice lessons.

extending Event and the order of files
by Kassen 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Fellow ChucKists. This has a issue (class 'Trigger' has no member 'broadcast'); =====================- Trigger trig; trig.broadcast(); class Trigger extends Event { int target; } ====================== Yet this is fine; =================- class Trigger extends Event { int target; } Trigger trig; trig.broadcast(); ================= This is quite odd. In general defining classes at the bottom of the file is ok these days, the problem seems to be in extending Event. I believe this to be wrong and will add it to the WiKi's list of bugs. Yours, Kas.
