ChucK & mouse handling on Lion
by Ryan Spicer 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi intrepid ChucK developers/users: I've got the Lion-ready beta of ChucK working on my Macbook Pro (late 2010), but it appears that the mouse HID interface isn't working quite right. Is this a known bug? I'm testing with the "mouse-fm.ck" file in MiniAudicle (http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/examples/hid/mouse-fm.ck) and it appears that the code is never reaching any of the msg.isButtonUp()/msg.isButtonDown()/msg.isMouseMovement(); states. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a work-around? -- Ryan Spicer =============================== Research Assistant / Teaching Assistant IGERT Trainee Reflective Living Module School of Arts Media + Engineering Arizona State University http://rl.ame.asu.edu

Re: [chuck-users] Android port

Android apps normally run on java... However, you *can* build native apps, but then they will not run on all possible devices, but only on those having the same CPU (normally ARM based). Then you would need an interface to hardware devices (audio, midi, etc.). Does rtaudio support android?

Android port
by Christopher Van Kirk 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi all. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I've been googling for a while now and haven't been able to find an answer to this question. Navigating the archive is a challenge without a search feature. Anyway, my question is this. Has anyone ported ChucK's VM to Android? Just looking at the code it seems as though it might compile..is there any reason why one should not use it on the Android platform? Thanks! Chris...

extending UGen
by Kassen 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Dear list, Here's a small exercise testing the "new" feature, it generates noise according to the classical "3x+1" series; //may generate extreme signals. Mind your ears, speakers and neighbours, please class Foo extends Step { true => next; spork ~ gen(); fun void gen() { 50 => int x; 1 => float value; while (true) { if (x == 1) Std.rand2(1, 100) => x; else if (x % 2) 1 + (3 * x) => x; else x / 2 => x; x::samp => now; last() * -1 => next; } } } Foo bar => dac; 3::minute => now; Notice that we can use .last() and .next() from inside of the class; this is nice. Not so clear -yet- is whether we can create our own "tick" that will be called every samp at the moment the UGen is ticked by the one downstream or whether we could get to values send into this by the ChucK operator... but it works and it's nice! Yours, Kas.

feedback loop
by Tomtom 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Hi chuckers, I've just tried to reproduce something I've done some time ago with guitar pedals : a feedback loop. input -> mixer -> delay -[wet]-> various effects -> back to the mixer `--> dekay -[dry]-> output by controling the amount of feedback on the mixer and the parameters of the effects in the loop you can create funny things. Now, for the ChucK part (not exactly the same, but quite similar) : ---- class MyDelay extends Delay { 1::second => max; } // feedback loop MyDelay d => JCRev r => Gain g => d; d => dac; fun void note() { SawOsc osc => Envelope e => d; 250 => osc.freq; 1 => e.value; e.keyOff(); 200::ms => e.duration => now; } 0.8 => g.gain; 0.2 => r.mix; 200::ms => d.delay; note(); 10::second => now; ---- with these parameters I get a positive feedback: sound is getting louder and louder, clipping and then silence. Using d.last(), I see the samples computed get outside the range [-1;+1] (thus the clipping) and then divert from 0 exponentially. To avoid this, I would like to truncate the sample values so they stay in the interval [-1;+1] : if s > 1 then s = 1, if s < -1 s = -1 I tried to use Dyno as a limiter, but it seems to do something more clever than that. That's all folks ! tom

ChucK Runtime Error
by Andy Ashton 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Good Morning/Afternooon/Evening! I am writing this e-mail to see if any windows users have come across the same problem I have with miniAudicle at the moment. The problem is whenever I try to add a shred to the VM it just comes up with the "miniAudicle.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message. I've tried changing a few settings (increasing buffer size, putting the log level on "none") but nothing seems to work! Hope someone has come across this problem before and knows what to do, and if you want some more info on the matter feel free to ask, I'd be more than willing to provide if it means i can finally start programming! Thanks for your time,Andy

NetIn and NetOut
by Matt Diamond 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hey all, What's the current state of NetIn and NetOut? Are they deprecated? I tried using NetOut on a recent build of ChucK and received an "undefined type 'netout'" message. I saw a mention of this problem in the mailing lists a while ago but I couldn't find any resolution on the matter. If these functions have been eliminated, have any been added in their place? I just wanted to play around with live streaming and figured "netout" was the way to go. Thanks, Matt

more fun with random old school computer noise
by tempjayren＠gmail.com 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 this example gave me the idea to do what i want though i don't know how to implement it.take the random bleep bloop example of old school computer noise, using the sinewave thing as described, then bring in another random element. that can pick between 1 and 5. and at each number, it picks a different type of wave to play with, sin sqr saw puls or noise, though of course noise isn't a nice happy wave. if it picks say 3 on one run, then on the next run also happens to pick 3 we toss out that run and make it run again until it picks something different while either playing silence for that run or skipping it entire. my problem seems to be changing the patch based on the number. if it is 1, then the sin wave is used, just like the example. if 2, then the sqr wave. and of course it would be a fixed dur for each run, say 200 ms or so. have i left anything out this time? i hope not. - -- Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead.

No devices found for compiled API's
by Raymond Boswel 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hi there, I am trying to run Chuck on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. When no input file is specified the standard "no input files" message appears. When trying to run an example I get the message :"[chuck]: (via rtaudio): no devices found for compiled audio APIs!". I've taken a look at the rtAudio.cpp file but can't make any useful deductions. I definitely do have a sound device and have successfully used portaudio on the same machine - Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Raymond

Re: [chuck-users] here's an idea
by Perry R Cook 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Hi all, Over the years I have done this for SKINI (Synthesis ToolKit Network Interface), which is a form of slightly extended textified MIDI. A couple of simple examples can be found at: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/dsp2008/prc/Week1Labs/ChucKModal/ Running the GUIModal script evokes the Tcl/TK wish interpreter, giving you a GUI with sliders and buttons. It pipes the output of that, which is SKINI, into the stdin of chuck running Modal.ck. The StdIn Class is called Skot (deprecated, should be called ConsoleInput), and the substring parser is called PRC (now called StringTokenizer). skinihak.c can read SKINI files with time stamps and dole them out (flushing it's stdout) to be piped into a SKINI-reading chuck program. So skinihak spain.ski | chuck Modal.ck will play that scorefile. In the directory I pointed you to, skinihak is Linux, skinihakMac is PowerPC, you can build what you like 'cause the source is there. For IntelMac SnowLeopard, without Rosetta, you can build one that works using something like: gcc -m32 -o skinihakMacIntel skinihak.c Enjoy!!! PRC
