WoHoo!!! Yeah, AlRight... Cool Man... I can't wait to test drive... (Actually, Ge, thanks for sending me that "prerelease" version, I was able to test those things that I needed for the Fractal stuff I am working on.... Now, I guess this means, I actually have to post my stuff now...) WooHOO!!! Yeah!! Thanks to everyone who has worked on this fantastic piece of software! Mike On 3/26/06, Ge Wang wrote:

Dear All,

chuck-1.2.0.5 (dracula) is now available:

http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/release/ (may need to reload page to see update)

It contains several new features (see full release note below): - multi-channel audio - HID/Joystick support (by Spencer Salazar) - see examples/hid/ for demos - massive STK update (in exchange for sleep from Mark Daly and Ge) - new StkInstrument parent class - control changes exposed - new examples - more documentation (Adam Tindale, Mark, and others) - bug fixes! new bugs!

completely updated STK section: http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen.html

Thanks to all who contributed to this release and to the wiki upgrade, including Mike McGonagle, Graham Coleman, Graham Percival, Eduard Aylon, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas, Nelson Ferraz, and to Scot Gresham-Lancaster and Tim Perkis for working with us to develop new features, and many others.

As always, please let us know of any issues on [chuck-users], [chuck-dev], or email, and HappY ChucKing!

Best, chuck team

--- 1.2.0.5 - (added) multi-channel audio - use --channels<N> or -c<N> set number of channels for both input and output - use --out<N>/-o<N> and --in<N>/-i<N> to request # of input and output channels separately - stereo is default (for now) - (added) UGen.channels() - (added) class UGen -> class UGen_Multi -> class UGen_Stereo - (added) UGen UGen_Multi.chan( int ) use this to address individual channels - (added) examples in examples/multi - n.ck : n channels detuned sine - i.ck : n channels impulse - (added) HID support (author: Spencer Salazar) - (added) 'HidIn' event class (see examples/hid/*.ck) - (added) Terminal Keyboard Input (immediate mode, separate from HID) - (added) 'KBHit' event class (see examples/event/kb*.ck) - (added) sndbuf.chunks : better real-time behavior - can be set to arbitrary integers (before the .read happens) - default is 0 frames (no chunk) - set .chunks to 0 to read in entire file (previous behavior) - (added) int math.isinf( float ) // infinity test - (added) int math.isnan( float ) // NaN test (see examples/basic/infnan.ck) - (added) sndbuf.valueAt( int ) for returning sample at arbitrary pos (see examples/basic/valueat.ck) - (added) MASSIVE STK UPDATE - (added) 'StkInstrument' class .noteOn( float ) .noteOff( float ) .freq( float ) / .freq() .controlChange( int, float ) - (added) the following now extend 'StkInstrument' (most of them have additional parameters) - BandedWG - BlowBotl - BlowHole - Bowed - Brass - Clarinet - Flute - FM (and all its subclasses: BeeThree, FMVoices, HevyMetl, PercFlut, Rhodey, TubeBell, Wurley) - Mandolin - ModalBar - Moog - Saxofony - Shakers - Sitar - StifKarp - VoicForm - (added) better STK documentation http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen.html - (added) examples/stk/modulate.ck - (added) --watchdog and --nowatchdog flags (very experiment watchdog for real-time audio) - (added) () => function; // calls function(); (thanks to Mike McGonagle for reporting) - (added) if exp: ( cond ? if_cond : else_cond ) (thanks to Mike McGonagle for reporting) - (added) math.abs( int ), math.fabs( float ), math.sgn( float ) (std version unchanged) - (added) new examples - basic/infnan.ck /fm.ck fm2.ck fm3.ck /valueat.ck - event/kb.ck kb2.ck - hid/joy.ck /joy-fm.ck /joy-noise.ck /joy-shake.ck - multi/i.ck /n.ck /we-robot.ck - osc/s.ck /r.ck - stk/bandedwg.ck /blowbotl.ck /blowhole.ck /bowed.ck /brass.ck /clarinet.ck /flute.ck /mandolin.ck /modalbar.ck /saxofony.ck /stifkarp.ck - (fixed) sinsoc, triosc, sqrosc, phasor: - .sync( 0 ) uses input signal to modulate frequency - .sync( 2 ) uses input signal to modulate phase (FM synthesis) - (fixed) impulse.last() no longer has extra samp delay (thanks to Mike McGonagle for reporting) - (fixed) class inheritance now handles the first overloaded function of a parent correctly when called using a subclass instance. in other words, this part sucks less now. (thanks to Mike McGonagle for reporting) - (fixed) (internal) type checker re-instantiation patched - (fixed) (internal) detach_all() moved to chuck_globals.cpp - (fixed) (internal) global variables moved to chuck_globals.cpp - (fixed) file handles close in compiler and parser - (fixed) syntax error causing syntax errors
