I’m very excited to see Chuck 1.2.2.0, and I’m eager to start tweaking.

I’d particularly like to get started on writing external C++ UGens for Chuck. I own source for some particularly useful functions that I’d love to get tied into Chuck (intention to donate as an external project), but I can’t seem to find the procedure for loading an external dll either from Chuck code, or from the command-line, or otherwise. All the code seems to be there to load an external DLL, but it doesn’t seem to be hooked up to anything yet. Am I missing something?

Are there any immediate plans to expose this, or should I get busy hacking away?

UGens that I’m interested in implementing:

- hosting VST plugins in chuck (a huge priority for me, have source code, will integrate, if nobody else is doing this)

- maybe Chuck as a VST plugin  (not a huge priority for me)

- Some more basic instrument building blocks for ugens,  band-limited waveforms, particulary.

- High-quality sample interpolators.

Is anyone else out there doing 3^rd-party development for Chuck yet? I’d be interested in sharing plans and priorities.

Regards,

Robin Davies
