If you're thinking of dropping the lowercase names in the future perhaps you could allow them but print a deprecated warning when they're used. Ollie

A modest proposal (caps).
by Kassen 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Ok, list... I realise this may be edging on dangerous teritory but I was just fooling around with the miniaudicle and some filters and had to type this; sawosc s => TwoPole f => dac; This works perfectly; that's not the problem. My problem is that it's "TwoPole" and not "Twopole" or "twopole" and yet it's not SawOsc but sawosc. I realise this is because we are borowing from the STK and also using new stuff but.... Well, to be honest I'd realy prefer a consistent use of caps. Frankly I'd be in favour of simply making it all lowercase or at least a consistent use of case because this -to me- is hard to remember. Yours, Kas.

arrays holding arrays?
by Kassen 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi list, I have a slight issue. I'd like to have a array in which every object itself is a array. Particularly I'd like to have one of 8 locations each of which holds a array of length 32. I tried this; int[32] memory[8]; And the miniaudicle immediately complains. I know the manual doesn't explicidly say arrays can hold arrays but it didn't explicidly say functions can return arrays either so I thought I'd try anyway (and frankly I feel this should simply be possible). Theoretically speaking I could get by with a 2d array but I'd realy like to be able to go; if(some event dealing with storing patern memories) { patern @=> memory[4]; } if(some event dealing with recaling patern memories) { memory[3] @=> patern; } How to go about this? In the interest of staying readable and compact I'd much prefer no to have to loop over a 2d arrays row in order to copie values one by one. Should I use the asociative array features? Am I missing some syntax bit? Are there reasons not to store arrays in arrays? Yours, Kas.

miniAudicle success
by Atte André Jensen 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi I installed xubuntu 6.06 on my new (used) T41 ThinkPad, and miniAudicle worked right away (after patching with the UTF patch, version 2). Looking forward to getting more into this nice IDE (and reporting requests:-)) soon! -- peace, love & harmony Atte

note names
by Bruce Murphy 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

There's a convention for naming notes like C4 or Eb3 or A#-1 that seems quite commonly used in music applications. I would very much like a note nme to MIDI note number converter to make certain things I do with ChucK a lot more readable and easy to change - m.noteon(snd.stom("C#4")); for example. The problem is that middle-C (MIDI note 60) is not well defined. Quite a few sources suggest it should be C4 a smaller number suggest C3. Once a function to do the conversion is in ChucK, it would be difficult to change without irritating people who use it. Does anyone have a stronger opinion than I as to what the middle-C note name should be? B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm

updated MIDIsender wrapper class
by Bruce Murphy 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I've been playing with the midiwrapper class I sent in yesterday and I'm convinced that it's getting to the useful stage. At least I was able to get ChucK noodling away on several modules while I worked :) With great embarassment I also finally noticed that string comparisons are already there so I can implement this: MIDIsender m; m.open("JD990"); Only works on Mac OS X for the moment, becuase we've got AudioMIDI setup to keep track of where things are plugged in. The interface is there for other platforms if you can identify ports somehow. The latest code for the class, fledgling documentation on how to use it and several examples showing useful functionality are at: http://www.rattus.net/~packrat/audio/ChucK/ I have several other things I want to do, but some of them are waiting on better string handling. A written note (C#3) to midinote converter is pretty high on that list. It might be easier to put into the std library, or should there be a MIDI library?

MIDI sending, small messages
by Bruce Murphy 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I haven't been able to figure this out either from the documentation or the code (although I must admit that I'm still a little fuzzy on how the underlying functions get exported with typing to ChucK programs) How do I send short (2 byte) MIDI messages? I know that in theory spurious bytes won't matter, but since I use older MIDI kit, I don't want to take the chance of confusing it. If I'm missing documentation on how this works, I'd love to hear about it so I can just pull what I need out of the code :) (Or even documentation on the how Chuck VM -> underlying implementation code works) B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm

I tried to build it (debian/linux), I followed everything except "2. Build the Styled Text Control (STC) wxWidgets contrib library." Since I couldn't find the directory build-gtk).
