Hi Mark this Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rpk461T6l4&hl=de helps to get started. It´s pretty easy to play back a sinewave (as shown in the video). Add a falling pitch modulation - then you can make your first kick drum experiments. regards Basti Am 08.02.2009 um 21:05 schrieb Mark Knecht:
Hi all, I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to try out a tool like Chuck.
I'm on an AMD64 Gentoo platform it seems that Chuck is my best bet. I've started scanning the chuck-users list to get familiar with what sort of discussions happen here - and they are interesting - but as I am more of musician than a programmer I'm wondering how I might attempt to get to know Chuck better? To start exploring I've built Chuck-1.2.1.2 from portage and am building miniaudicle now. Neither has yet made a sound.
I *think* (but am not sure) that I'd like my first exploration to be in the area of using Chuck to create rythmic patterns of sort of a break-beat nature using noise generators and filters as the sound source. This is not something I'm set up to do with any of my other tools in Linux or Windows so if I was successful it would add another tool to my tool box.
I'm wondering whether more experienced folks:
1) Think this is a reasonable goal?
and
2) Might have suggestions about how I'd get started?
Thanks in advance for any comments and ideas.
Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
