Hello, Ge and Kassen - Thanks for the welcomes both of you, and thanks for the interesting software, Ge! And yes, you've accurately pegged me as a SC user learning ChucK - i've been 'translating' examples in both directions in an attempt to learn the language. It's been interesting to see how the languages differ - i love how intuitive signal flow is in ChucK. Both of your suggestions are useful. Is "Osc" in the documentation somewhere? I don't see it on the online UGen reference list... cheers, jascha On Oct 8, 2007, at 6:54 AM, Kassen wrote:
Hi!
That was a good question, I think sorting where to use "modular synth style" signal flow and where to us "plain code" is a important part of ChucKing. Many things can be done both ways but if you do it the "wrong" way you'll end up with ugly code and high cpu costs.
If there is still a need to round to a multiple of some number in a "5.trunc(2);" style it could be done using something like this;
fun float trunc(float input, float multiple) { return (input - input%multiple); }
which will always round down. If we really need the closest value we can use something like;
fun float trunc(float input, float multiple) { if ( input%multiple < ( .5 * multiple) ) return (input - input% multiple); else return (input - input%multiple + multiple); }
This would be overkill if we just want a series of tones that hits every multiple of 400Hz (in that case we'd be much better off with simply generating that series directly like Ge said) but it's still a valid question in itself.
Hope that helps. Kas. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
