hello all, while I'm not new to music or linux, I am brand-spanking new to chuck and, probably more importantly, the whole livecoding idea. that being said, here are my questions: I'm looking for what I'm calling a "text synth", that is a synthesizer that runs completely independent of any gui and can be played from my midi keyboard. I really like what chuck can do, but I can't figure out if it is capable of being played from a keyboard (midi). basically I'm looking for something to use as a "whole machine" - I can kick off a predetermined beat, kick off a bassline, load up a synth patch, play it, etc. I can see from the doc that chuck can do the first two pretty easily, but what about the third? -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com http://www.joshlawrencetrio.com
