new to chuck having machine.add issues
by Amy Crawford 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi there! I took the coursera course for chuck programming and all was going well until I go to use machine.add() to make my score and all instruments concurrent. for some reason it reads [C]: no such file or directory I added my files to another computer and the same exact thing occurred. every time I add the shred and Any time I use Machine.add() in any other programs the same thing occurs even though i am using me.dir("/myfile.ck") I can't seem to make any of my files concurrent to one another because its not working. Any help is appreciated greatly!! Thanks! Amy

Listener
by Philipp Blume 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

I am looking to implement a listener into my (very simple) ChucK program. I want to operate a bank of virtual sliders that send their position to ChucK. In what program/application can I build such a slider, and where in the ChucK API can I read up on listeners? I don't yet know my way around the documentation, though I do have the Kapur, Cook, Salazar, & Wang text which is wonderful. Thanks in advance! Philipp Blume

Re: [chuck-users] Matrix of Impulse Generators

Yep, having that resource allocation and connection to the dac inside your infinite loop is the culprit. In fact, almost everything in that function is static initialization, so chould be moved outside the while(1) context. This fixes it for real: fun void iGen(int i1, int j1) { Euclid(i1,j1,a1,b1) + Euclid(i1,j1,a2,b2) => float dist; <<< dist >>>; SinOsc s => ADSR e => dac; e.set(35::ms, 8::ms, .1, 200::ms); Math.pow(0.65,(dist)) => s.gain; i1*x + j1*y => s.freq; while(true) { e.keyOn(); (440)::ms => now; e.keyOff(); (440*Math.pow(1.2,dist))::ms => now; } } ----- Original Message ----- 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..."

Thanks, Stefan! That did take care of my problem! I didn't even trigger a new note, I simply added the line e=<dac; at the end of my function iGen.

Matrix of Impulse Generators
by Philipp Blume 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Dear all, Question from a rank ChucK beginner There's something about envelopes or gain or shreduling that I don't understand. I created a Cartesian matrix of impulse generators, whose frequencies are given as mx+ny {x,y btw -3 and 3) where the gain & 'tempo' of each generator is correlated with its distance from a line segment (a1,b1 - a2,b2) - later on I will be manipulating x,y,a1,b1,a2, and b2. This code runs well for a while, but within a few seconds or minutes it starts to get overwhelmed. The death is both spectacular and quite moving, but how do I keep it within bounds so it sounds perpetually like it does in the first 5-10 seconds? 550 => float x; 440 => float y; 3 => float a1; 0 => float b1; 0 => float a2; -2 => float b2; fun void iGen(int i1, int j1) { while(true) { Euclid(i1,j1,a1,b1) + Euclid(i1,j1,a2,b2) => float dist; <<< dist >>>; SinOsc s => ADSR e => dac; e.set(35::ms, 8::ms, .1, 200::ms); Math.pow(0.65,(dist)) => s.gain; i1*x + j1*y => s.freq; e.keyOn(); (440)::ms => now; e.keyOff(); (440*Math.pow(1.2,dist))::ms => now; } } fun float Euclid(float p, float q, float r, float s) { return Math.sqrt(Math.pow((p-r),2) + Math.pow((q-s),2)); } for(-3 => int i; i<4; i++) { for (-3 => int j; j<4; j++) { if (i != 0 && j != 0) { spork ~ iGen(i,j); } } } while (x != y) { 500::ms=>now; } -- Philipp Blume

Re: [chuck-users] assigning a Blit array (George Locke)
by Zacko Belsch 03 Feb '14

I'm not sure whether the following is relevant or not. Looking at the chuck source code (in ugen_stk.h), it appears the common superclass of BlitSaw and BlitSquare is BLT, not Blit. Would what you tried work if you used BLT for your common array instead of Blit? Bob H

Re: [chuck-users] Dynamic Arrays (George Locke)

5. how do you resize an object array? (George Locke) Here's something that should be useful. (from the .pdf ChucK Manual, under Dynamic Arrays, there's more there about it) [64, 65, 60, 59] @=> int notes[]; notes << 58; // notes is [64, 65, 60, 59, 58] notes << 60; // notes is [64, 65, 60, 59, 58, 60] notes.popBack(); // [64, 65, 60, 59, 58] notes << 64 << 65 << 60; // [64, 65, 60, 59, 58, 64, 65, 60]

This code works: SinOsc pls[0]; <<< "sinosc", pls.size() >>>; for (0 @=> int i; i < pls.size(); i++) { <<< i >>>; <<< pls[i].freq() >>>; } But this code fails: 2 => int siz; SinOsc pls[0]; siz => pls.size; <<< "sinosc", pls.size() >>>; for (0 @=> int i; i < pls.size(); i++) { <<< i >>>; <<< pls[i].freq() >>>; } It gives a run-time error: "[chuck](VM): NullPointerException: shred[id=1:untitled], PC=[53]" error. How do I dynamically resize an array of objects? (I just reinstalled miniAudicle today. running on Windows 7.) Thanks, George Locke

Not exactly sure why this is failing. Also tried declaring Blit osc[], but nope. Here's a fix for now, assigning all elements individually: BlitSquare pls[10]; BlitSaw saw[10]; Blit osc[10]; if (myVariable) { for (0 => int i; i < pls.cap(); i++) pls[i] => osc[i]; } else { for (0 => int i; i < pls.cap(); i++) saw[i] => osc[i]; } 1. how do I assign a Blit array with a BlitSquare array?
