Hi Forrest,

If you're only using one fifo and you're not using chuck's stdout for other purposes, you can redirect it to the fifo and communicate that way, e.g. 

chuck file.ck > myfifo.fifo 

ChucK's diagnostics go to stderr, as does <<< >>> printing, so only stuff you write to chout will go to the fifo.

Basically, to use OSC protocol I end up needing a finicky listening routine in the csound program, with all sorts of complications about starting & stopping notes from the messages... while the -L command line option lets me feed lines directly through the operating system into the score, with csound handling the subsequent timing automatically. So it depends what you mean by 'easier.'

Chuck does seems like a pretty heavy-duty program to use as a midi-timer; last night I worked out a short python script that seems to do the job; but chuck -- if it had the right file-handling capabilities -- is more specifically designed for coordinating a musical process, and might work better. I dunno.

Hi Forrest,

Maybe a naive question: but is there any reason you don’t want to use OSC protocol for communicating between ChucK and CSound ? I think that’s the easier route.

Best,
Casper

If I don't close the fifo chuck merely freezes; if I do close it at the end of each line, chuck continues to receive midi notes but csound doesn't get anything from the other end.
