Just compiled chuck -- its power seems quite exciting!
Why I am looking at chuck:
I am preparing to give a talk on the wider ramifications of music.
One of the things I wish to demonstrate is that things that look different are often merely analogs but at different scales.
eg if something vibrates at 400Hz we hear a sound of A-flat. If it 'vibrates' at 4 Hz we hear a beat.
In the same analogy a 2 vs 3 poly-rhythm (should?) change to a do-so chord. And so on.
Or stated in reverse:
Say I have a rhythm
in 4/4 time -- 4 even quarter notes, bar repeating every second played
by say a click. [What kind of click I am not very sure; sharp with few
harmonics would be best I expect]
Now if there were some (realtime) way of sliding the tempo from 1 sec to
millisec I expect the separate clicks would vanish into a hum at some
stage.
This (and other such experiments) is what I want to demo.
Can I do this with chuck/miniaudicle?
PS. I have some issues with my setup which I will post separately.
But first I need to know whether I am using the right tool.
