Hi Suvash. If you're interested in using Chuck as a sound engine, you should probably start by learning about open sound control (OSC) if you don't already know about it. You can learn more about OSC here: http://opensoundcontrol.org/introduction-osc On the Chuck side of things, there are some examples in the examples/osc/ directory of the Chuck installation. There are OSC libraries for just about every language under the sun, or you can roll your own using UDP sockets. To learn Chuck, start with files in the examples directory. If you already know another programming language it should be pretty easy to understand most of what is going on. The things to focus on in Chuck are: 1) signal chains 2) shreds (kind of like threads) 3) signals 4) timing Chuck has uncommon ways of handling these things, so you'll want to understand how they work. And of course if you have any question, you can always come here. Good luck. andy 2010/1/23 Suvash Thapaliya :

Hello Chuck-ers ! …want to begin with a big HI to everyone here ! I came to know about this software(programming environment) sometime ago, a couple of years i guess. And i want to make some serious use of it. I plan to use chuck as a sound engine coupled to another program which would feed data to chuck(in real-time), primarily targeted for musical exploration. It would be great if someone would set me some pointers to begin with. wanna-be chucker suVasH..... _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
