ChucK and eChucK had a nice first date, though they did not hit it off right away. First ChucK was mumbling because his output volume was too low so he did not excite eChucK's input circuitry. Then things improved when ChucK invited eChucK to a livecoding session. With eChucK's CV PWM circuit not listiening, ChucK tried different stimulus input pulse widths until eChucK responded favorably with some percussion sounds. Then ChucK tried one of his favorite lines, "adc => dac;", and eChucK really lit up with renewed interest. Apparently you can send voice into the stim input of the Karplus Strong circuit and get a vocoding effect. At this point the date joke was getting old, so I invited some radio friends to tune in to my port and listen while I tweaked the circuit. As it stands right now I've somewhat lowered the noise with a carefully placed capacitor though it is still loud. The stim input can be a 10::ms pulse (bass drum) or a 10::ms noise burst (snare). The CV input circuit requires redesign. It's a problem because I'm trying to generate a DC level from an AC coupled output, which is a little bit tricky so I'm working on it. Overall the date went well. eChucK and ChucK had a good time and made beautiful if somewhat monotonous music together. I think they like each other. Les
