Hi, I've never tried to use CSV files with ChucK, an alternative could be use a common txt file with FileIO like you said. About the interpolation an easy way could be using Step and Envelope to set both freq and amplitude of the oscillators.

New to ChucK: can this be done easily?
by Forrest Cahoon 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Hi ChucKers! I have a sonification project that I'm wondering if it makes sense to do in ChucK. I have a csv file with frequencies and amplitudes for 4 different sine waves, representing values at (say) half-second intervals. I want to read in a line, and then smoothly change the frequency and amplitude values using linear interpolation over the course of 24000 samples (a half second at 48k samples per second), then read in the next line, and smoothly change to those values over the next half-second, etc. until the data runs out. I could code this in C using libsndfile, but if I didn't have to worry about converting frequencies into phase distances between samples I'd consider that a win. I noticed Chuck has FileIO methods to read input files (although these are very poorly documented) so thought it should be possible to read in a csv file. I could calculate the amount of frequency and amplitude change per sample and adjust these in a 1-sample loop, and that's already simpler than coding in C. But I'm hoping there's some way to tell ChucK "I want this (e.g. frequency) value to change smoothly from its current value to f1 over the course of a half-second". If that were possible, ChucK would be a clear choice for my project. Thanks for any response! Forrest Cahoon

ChucK FLOSS - MIDI reference
by Mario Buoninfante 02 Jun '18

Hi everybody, I added a new chapter to the ChucK FLOSS manual, MIDI Reference https://omnibook.pro/chuck/_full/#midi at the moment there are info about MIDI also under the Event Reference, which I don't wanna touch for now. anyway, there are a couple of classes I've never seen before, MidiMsgIn, MidiMsgOut and MidiFileIn, has anyone ever used them? cheers, Mario

Re: [chuck-users] Chugins in general

While we’re on Chugins, I recently installed the newest ChucK/Mini and found that ChucK can’t seem to find the standard Chugins (including MAUI, which I assume has now been unbundled from the ChucK executable?). MiniAudicle seems fine tho. I was using 1.3.5 fine, but 1.4 seems to be set up quite differently for Chugins and path. The installer should take care of this automagically yes? This is for Mac 10.10.5 by the way.

chugins will not load/compile using 1.4.0.0 on windows10
by Ben Sandvik 25 May '18

25 May '18

List, I have been trying to update to chuck 1.4.0.0 for a few days, but I can't get chugins to compile or load on Windows 10 64-bit using miniAudicle. I'm getting the "undefined type '...' in declaration" error message for every chugin when adding to the VM, including ones that had been working correctly with 1.3.5.2. Other .ck files that don't use chugins seem to be working fine. Here is what I have tried Downloaded the 1.4 executable and went through the standard installation I have copied the files from the chugins GitHub zip file to: C:\WINDOWS\system32/ChucK C:\ProgramFiles\ChucK\chugins C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\ChucK\chugins and made sure the directory is listed under the chugins preferences in miniAudicle. Not sure which is best directory, just trying everything. I have also tried just putting the github files for a specific chugin in the same folder with an example .ck files. Still the same error message. If I uninstall 1.4 and re-install 1.3.5.2 the older chugins are working fine, but newer ones like Wavetable and ExpEnv are not. Any ideas? Am I missing some obvious step during installation? Is there a Windows10-specific issue? Also, not sure if this is related, but changing the Log Level to anything other than System causes miniAudicle to crash when starting the vm. thanks Ben <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
