Re: [chuck-users] bryan Eidel's problem with DAC in MiniAudicle
by Perry Cook 31 Jan '11

Aha, this is a known problem with Mini where it loses it's mind as regards the audio device(s). Happens most often when a sound device has been plugged/unplugged, but can happen when you've changed devices otherwise. Fix is easy: Go into MiniAudicle Preferences and hit "Restore Defaults" button. (if you had file paths set up, then you'll need to go and fix those again). But after that Mini can see the DAC again.

Re: [chuck-users] m-A to Quartz
by David Loberg Code 29 Jan '11

I can pipe m-A to Quartz via Soundflower, but then I am not able to hear it. I tried combining Soundflower and the regular audio output by making an aggregate audio device with OS X's Audio/Midi Set-up. This solution doesn't make sound AND doesn't affect Quartz. > Hi David, > > Yeah, Soundflower is what I would use for this.

Frequency domain and fractals?
by Wolfgang Gil 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Hello, Does anyone knows about any interesting book, paper, etc using chaos for sound generation? I have seen some documentation about chaos and music but until now everything has been related to the organization of the notes through a "chaotic system". None of them to the actual generation of sound. I'm wondering if it would be interesting to employ non-lineal equation's systems to populate fft matrixes (like the Gabor matrix) and then translate that data into sound using inverse fft... Any thought? -- Wolfgang Gil http://www.wolfganggil.com

The ChucK Method Book
by Zed A. Shaw 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi folks, long time lurker, infrequent poster. I've recently finished a book for Python and I'd like to do a similar one for ChucK. The Python book is "Learn Python The Hard Way" and it's written similar to a guitar method book: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ What I'd like to do next is a "ChucK Method Book" in a similar style, but actually make it more like a real method book for an instrument where the student is learning to "play chuck" like they would an instrument. If I were to do this, what do you think it should include? Do you think it's a good idea? Have you tried teaching ChucK? Thanks! -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/

Hi David, Yeah, Soundflower is what I would use for this. Set miniAudicle output device to Soundflower (2ch) and Quartz composer's audio input to the same. Sounds like you're doing something interesting! Best of luck, Anthony.

m-A to Quartz
by David Løberg Code 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

How can I send the audio output from mini-Audicle to the input of a Quartz composer visualizer? (I want the m-A audio to go out to speakers AND to Quartz...just like iTunes.) Do I use Soundflower? Do I need to create aggregate audio device? thanks, david David Loberg Code School of Music Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49024 269-387-4667 code(a)wmich.edu

Re: [chuck-users] Chaos functions in ChucK.
by Anthony Bowyer-Lowe 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hey Ronni, I have been meaning to implement some chaotic type functions in ChucK for some time: Perlin noise, Buchla-esque source of uncertainty, Brownian motion LFO, composite complex modulation sources, etc. I have some personal audio design projects coming up for which I intend to prototype the synth system in ChucK so, if I get time, if you're lucky, and if I make anything of worth, I'll share what is produced.

input gain analysis, LiSa example
by Michael Heuer 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hello ChucKers, I'm thinking of giving the RPM challenge (http://rpmchallenge) a try this February and am missing two things from my ChucK kit 1) A ChucK snippet to analyze the gain of an input signal. I could just watch for peak values every sample but that doesn't seem like the right thing to do. 2) An example/tutorial of how to use LiSa to approximate a looper pedal (record, overdub, undo, redo). See e.g. http://www.essej.net/sooperlooper/ http://web.mit.edu/~eric_r/Public/mmmtsss/ Thanks in advance, michael

Re: [chuck-users] Using Fourier Transform
by Rebecca Fiebrink 16 Jan '11

Hi Lucas, Sorry for the late reply. But since one doesn't really learn the true nature of the FFT in 5 days, I think this may still be helpful. My favorite resources for learning & teaching about FFT are: - Julius Smith's online tutorial: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/mdft/ - Ken Steigglitz's book: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Signal-Processing-Primer-Applications/dp/0805… This book will teach you not just about FFT, but about musical signal processing in general -- it's well worth the money. Both are written with music in mind. For a much higher-level overview, you can see my FFT "cheat sheet" here: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~fiebrink/314/2010/week8/FFT_handout_2010.pdf along with code examples from that day of class here http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~fiebrink/314/2010/week8/ and scribe notes (written by a student) here http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~fiebrink/314/2010/week8/scribe_Mia.pdf Best, Rebecca On 2011-01-11, at 9:00 AM, chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.Princeton.EDU wrote: > > Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2011 09:27:42 -0200 > From: Lucas Zawacki <lfzawacki(a)gmail.com> > To: ChucK Users Mailing List <chuck-users(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu> > Subject: [chuck-users] Using Fourier Transform > Message-ID: > <AANLkTi=vBnKCqQoKaii3Bq1jscdnqqLd1j21PUkBsPPi(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Sup guys.
