Hi, list. Has anybody gotten the multi-channel stuff to work with one of the EMU cards that use Patchmix under XP? I dug through a stack of online posts and it seems that in the past these cards had issues with multi channel DX but right now Winamp is set to "primary sound driver" and does a perfect job of playing a six channel wave file while ChucK --probe doesn't get beyond 2 channels on any of the devices it sees. I use a1616m but I think the drivers are basically the same for all of them. Any pointers would be very welcome. Kas.
hi all, i've made a small tool for ChucK. it is basically an editor and a surface with basic widgets that can send OSC data to ChucK. i've only compiled it for winXP but you should be able to compile it for mac & linux (maybe some small adjustments necessary). it's open source, so you can try if you can 'make' it. if you are successful i'd like to hear from you so can maybe include the changes in the original distribution. download it here: http://joerg.piringer.net/software/oscsurface.htm comments welcome... best joerg -- http://joerg.piringer.net http://www.transacoustic-research.com http://www.iftaf.org http://www.vegetableorchestra.org/
Hi Joerg and all,

This rocks! Cool syntax highlighting too. I've linked to it from the wiki: http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Dev/Tools

We'd also be interested to know if/when someone gets it compiled on linux/osx. Spencer is currently working on miniAudicle for windows and linux, perhaps we can pool our resources... Anyone else up for some hacking this summer to extend interfaces and chuckian environments? Thanks Joerg! Best, Ge!

i was just working on some improvements... i wanted to capture the output of the chuck console which didn't work too well. unlike other programs somehow chuck seems to hang at the end of execution. it seems to loop the last 200-500 milliseconds forever until i press ctrl+c to force quit. but then i tried the same on my laptop instead of the development machine and it worked. it seems to be a general problem of chuck on my development computer. sometimes (almost every second execution) it hangs when chuck tries to quit on its own. quitting with ctrl+c always works. any ideas? but anyway, yes maybe it would really be better to pool resources instead of working separately. however i'm very busy at the moment, but i might be interested if it's somehow doable for me. all the best joerg -- http://joerg.piringer.net http://www.transacoustic-research.com http://www.iftaf.org http://www.vegetableorchestra.org/

That reminds me! Quite unrelated but I found that if you have a shred which you let "commit suicide" and you have it report on it's plan to leave the virtual machine for greener pastures to the console right before this then that message often (always?) doesn't print. Advancing time by a few ms inbetween cures this but I feel it's quite rude for the shred to leave before saying goodbye. Totally unrelated but I forgot to report it before. Kas.
Hi Kassen and all,
Has anybody gotten the multi-channel stuff to work with one of the EMU cards that use Patchmix under XP?
A more general question: Who has gotten multi-channel in ChucK working under windows XP? What brands/models of soundcards? Multi-channel ChucK works fine for us under OS X (Edirol interface), but we have not been able to test it much on XP or Linux. Perhaps knowing what else works (or not) will help us learn more about the EMU, Patchmix situation under XP.
I dug through a stack of online posts and it seems that in the past these cards had issues with multi channel DX but right now Winamp is set to "primary sound driver" and does a perfect job of playing a six channel wave file while ChucK --probe doesn't get beyond 2 channels on any of the devices it sees. I use a1616m but I think the drivers are basically the same for all of them.
Does winamp have the option of using DirectSound as the output (the primary sound driver belongs to winmm, I think)? Best, Ge!

Well, yeah, that's a good question too. I had sorta kinda asumed that if nobody complained it should probably work generally. I know for a fact that the EMU's used to have issues with non-asio multi channel. EMU tried to get out of it saying they were "professional cards", then there were lots of complaints from people working profesionally on DVD's and it's supposed to be sorted now.

In fact Winamp does. I got one six channel wave file for testing and in winamp the "primary sound driver" works perfectly that way. The DirectSound one stripped it to the first two channels (no down mix). This bothered me a little but chuck --probe doesn't mention any Direct Sound and does mention the "primary sound driver" so this is why I started to suspect ChucK might be to blame. I'm starting to suspect the Windows "consumer" sound standards are a little bit more of a jungle then they pretend to be. Still; there must be some straightforward way because I think these days you get a surround system aimed at wintel computers for free with three boxes of cereals. I have no idea at all how those people make sense of this stuff but seemingly they do. Kas.
