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).

chuck MIDI handling
by Bruce Murphy 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Just a question, before I run off and duplicate anything. I use a lot of outboard MIDI stuff and am very interested in using chuck for glue and MIDI generation. As far as I can see, MIDI handling in chuck is fairly clumsy, particularly for MIDI generation. Is anyone currently working on developing a more friendly interface for this or is it worth taking some time over. Also, is the general push for this sort of thing to be put in core ChucK or to sit off to one side? B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm

clearing arrays quickly
by Bruce Murphy 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

If I've got n array of say, ints, either 1 or two dimensional, is there a fast way to clear the array (or set it some constant value of my choice). Can this be done for array slices, or an entire column or row of a multi-d array? Thanks, B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm

midiaudicle editor wishlist
by Bruce Murphy 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Realistically, how much functionality would we expect to see in the midi audicle editor? A few things I'd like ot see included. 1. Autoindent, at least to the point of indenting the same as the line preceding 2. Syntax highlighting understanding hex literals. Haven't touched the source, so I don't know if this is an area of active concern or how difficult ti woudl be. B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm

Feature request: compression

I'd love a compression effect in ChucK. Any chance of adding one as an object, or can anyone make one with a script? Ollie
