Create a pause of e.g. 2 seconds between notes or samples to be played
by herman verbaeten 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi, I've only recentely started studiing ChucK and i'm looking for an easy way to integrate a pause between notes to be played in a "while()" loop. Could someone tell me in what direction to look for a solution? thanks in advance! Herman

ADSR and gradually shift pan from left to right and back
by herman verbaeten 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Hello , Thanks a lot for your help. I still have some general questions and some about the program that follows: 1. Where can i find a chuck editor with the possibility to find words and replace them (all) and that also gives the colors for reserved words etc. 2. Is there a way to debug line per line to discover logical errors? 3. i discovered by accident that sometimes i can use "p.puf" but on other occasions i have to write "p.buf()" why is this? 4. in the program hereby, is there a way to have the pan do it's job independantely from the note-envelope-flow? to go faster or slower? 5. When i run this program it does what i want but i can't figure out why it says 2 times "p.pan = 1.000000" and 2 times "p.pan= -1.000000" (see below) Thanks !!

Re: [chuck-users] Multichannel Mono Output using ChucK (Matthew.Noone)
by Perry Cook 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

The trick here is you also have to tell ChucK to be 4 channels. From the command line: chuck -c8 YourFile.ck depending on what your —probe shows, you might even have to specify which dac (and adc) to use, especially if they’re different device numbers or channel numbers. Also, might need to up the buffer size to avoid clicking, especially for lots of channels. Examp: chuck -c8 -bufsize2048 -in2 --dac1 --adc0 YourFile.ck Hope this helps, PRC PS: If you’re using MiniAudicle, then you need to do some menu stuff to pick output/input devices, and numchannels as well. > On Jan 30, 2020, at 8:02 AM, chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu wrote: > > Send chuck-users mailing list submissions to > chuck-users(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chuck-users-owner(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chuck-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Classes to effectively use FluidSynth microtonally in ChucK
by Forrest Cahoon 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

Some time ago, I extended the FluidSynth chugin with hooks into libfluidsynth's tuning API. Once I started working with some more sophisticated soundfonts (such as those at https://sites.google.com/site/soundfonts4u/) I found a problem: it turns out that, the way libfluidsynth tuning works, the sample for the assigned-to note number is retuned to the pitch to which it is assigned, instead of using a sample which meant to be close to the desired pitch. So I wrote a set of ChucK classes so that I could just specify the note I want and let ChucK decide which MIDI note number to assign it to. If this is possibly of interest to you, check out my code at https://github.com/forrcaho/ChucK-code/tree/master/fluidsynth .

Hi all, I am trying to get multichannel output (to four speakers) using ChucK. I'm running on a Mac and using a Scarlett 18i8. I've tried running this test code. SinOsc s0 => dac.chan(0); SinOsc s1 => dac.chan(1); SinOsc s2 => dac.chan(2); SinOsc s3 => dac.chan(3); 3::second => now; But I get this error. chuck](VM): NullPointerException: (UGen link) on line[3] in shred[id=1:MULTI] Any ideas?

Re: [chuck-users] Float to Int
by Perry Cook 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

We also added Std.ftoi(x) to the language a while back (at 1.3.2.0). It’s much clearer to read, and more obvious as to what’s going on and why, than the casting notation. To round, just add 0.5 to x in the function arg. so: > Std.ftoi(0.4*myBuf.samples()+0.5) => myBuf.pos; would set your play pointer to the 40% point in the sound buffer. Prc Sent from my iPhone > 1.

Conversion float to int using SndBuf
by Mícheál Ó Catháin 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Hi What is the best way to convert a float to int in the following please? //I want to set myBuf.pos to a percentage of myBuf.samples()... //Start playing at say 40% through the total number of samples. 40.0 => float pctPosInit; pctPosInit/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos; This throws the error argument types don't match. I'm not seeing how to convert the float to an int here. Thanks for your help! Micheal
