Hello list, my first posting, I am not so much a musician as rather interested in hoe our digital technology advances. ChucK caught my attention with its interesting mixture between programming and creativity. For now I came as far as downloading some .ck files. I liked the "In C" file from the soupkitchen forum (unfortunately offline atm so I cannot link). I would like to generate this piece on a soundcard-less server, preferably without my intervention (via cron). I found the '--silent' option to suppress audio output and a file rec-auto.ck to record into a wav file. But that way the recording-to-file doesn't stop, it keep growing bigger. I also could not find anything in the docs. So what is a good, reliable way to create music files?
I want my computer to create a file every other week and use it as an alarm clock in the morning. ;)
Any pointers welcome. -- Chris
