Another Fiddle
by Dana Batali 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

Good day chuck-users, Today a new release of Fiddle is available. Thanks mucho if you've given this free ChuCK IDE/GUI a spin and especially if you've provided feedback! If you already have the app running on your system, the auto-update feature *should* just kick-in. If you were sitting on the side of the pool, come on in, the water is quite nice. The release includes some of the very-nice effects built-in to the most-excellent LiCK library which is housed here: github.com/heuermh/lick. Release notes and docs can be found here: https://cannerycoders.com/docs/fiddle/releasenotes.html Keep on chuckin', Dana

Fiddle with ChucK
by Dana Batali 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Greetings ChucKsters, I am pleased to share the first public beta release of my hobby project, Fiddle: A Programmable Sound System. It is a Graphical User Interface and IDE for ChucK. It is free, open, and completely extensible. Hopefully it will be of interest to some of you. I have been working on Fiddle for over a year and so the term "hobby-project" may be a bit of an undersell. But it's always better to under-promise, no? Fiddle *is* a hobby project in the sense that it is designed to help *me* dabble in electronic music-making. It's probably missing many features that I've yet to appreciate, but "the day is still young". On the cannerycoders website you'll find online documentation and a download page. You'll also find Windows 10+, Mac-Intel, Mac-M1 and Linux-Debian-x64 builds available. No guarantees are made with respect to older OS versions, your mileage may vary, caveat emptor, etc. I'm uncertain how much interest in Fiddle to expect. It's possible that my non-industrial-strength download site won't be up to the task. Patience is a virtue. Cheers, Dana Batali ps: Today I learned that this listserve doesn't appear to allow URLs probably for good reasons. This is why I can't provide links in a useful form.

trying to implement a midi sequencer in chuck
by d 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

Hi, I am trying to implement a midi sequencer in chuck and aparrently do not understand how time is advanced. The script below works fine for one track midi files but more than than and, it seems like events get lost. I tried something similar. where I used multiple files and that worked, except there is no way to pass the filename, etc from a driver file so Id have to wrap it in a shell script any suggestions appreciated. davud ---midisequencer.ck-------------- MidiFileIn min; MidiOut mout; MidiMsg msg; int done; string filename; me.arg(0) => filename; if( !min.open(filename) ){ <<< "unable to open MIDI file:'",filename >>>; me.exit(); } mout.open(0); for( int t; t < min.numTracks(); t++ ) spork ~ track(t ); while( done < min.numTracks() ) 1::second => now; function void track(int a) { while( min.read(msg,a)) { <<<msg.when>>>; msg.when=> now; mout.send(msg); } done++; }

New User (midiscore chucktrip questions)
by d 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hello, Im a retiring soon from IT, used make a living playing keys in a band a long time ago. Now I have time to play again. I am just getting started with chuck and want mostly want to use it as a custom midi sequencer. Probably with fluidsynth but maybe some chuck instruments. I can read and dump a midi file and play it through jack. But Id like to do more. I noticed MidiScoreReader and friends in the source but cant figure out how to exercise it. Things like getBPM and getLowestNote and seek toNoteOn etc seem interesting But I cant find them in the docs. And ..is there a way to format ints as hex when chereing? Also is chucktrip like jacktrip? thanks, d

ChucKDesigner released!
by David Braun 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Hello ChucK users, A new project, ChucKDesigner combines ChucK and TouchDesigner to facilitate audiovisual interactions. Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/DBraun/ChucKDesigner and watch the walkthrough video: https://youtu.be/TmJQh1lWXso TouchDesigner is a great way to make generative graphics, build user interfaces, and process data from many real-time inputs such as depth cameras, skeleton tracking and more. I hope ChucK users find ChucKDesigner as a useful bridge to it and that more TouchDesigner users find their way to ChucK. Cross-pollination! Best, David

Re: [chuck-users] Ragged object array
by David Loberg Code 07 Jan '22

Dana, I realize that this example is a 2D array, but does this workaround accomplish what you want? int meta[2][2]; [0, 1, 2, 3] @=> int b[]; [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] @=> int c[]; b @=> meta[0]; c @=> meta[1]; for (int i; i< b.size(); i++) { <<< " b["+i+"] ==", meta[0][i] >>>; } for (int i; i< c.size(); i++) { <<< "c["+i+"] ==", meta[1][i] >>>; } Santé, davd ----------------- David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan code(a)wmich.edu any pronouns ________________________________

Ragged object array
by Dana Batali 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Fellow ChucK users: can anyone comment on the possibility of achieving a ragged object array in ChucK? By ragged array, I mean an array of arrays of Objects as opposed to a 2D array. The docs state that an array is an Object, so it's within the realm of possible, by my current guess is that it's not possible to cast an Object to an array so that I can invoke, eg, it's size method. Any comments appreciated! Thanks in advance, Dana Here's some not-quite working code: // this part works. Object @ meta[]; // an array of arrays of objects (ragged) for(int i;i<10;i++) { Object subarray[0]; meta << subarray; } // here's the problem: // Object has no method size() (compile-time failure) // <<< "element[2] size: " , meta[2].size() >>>; // so the solution must involve a cast operation // but this produces a syntax error (meta[2] $ Object[]) @=> Object a[]; <<< a.size() >>>;

Hello! Is Math.srandom expected to seed random functions differently in the native versus the wasm implementation? Thanks, Micheal
