Hi! The Extend section of the Chuck site describes a FluidSynth chugin for using soundfonts. CCRMA does have code for this chugin ( https://github.com/ccrma/chugins/tree/master/FluidSynth), which I managed to compile for Windows after many, many hours of effort. Unfortunately, I get a chuck_dl error 126 when Chuck tries to load the file (I had to change the message level), so either my frankly ridiculous compiling process broke it or the code doesn't work right now.

Does anyone have this chugin in working form?

Hello Pietari, Have you considered running a linux virtual machine on Windows for ChucK and its dependencies? I have had good luck with VirtualBox as the host and Ubuntu or LinuxMint linux distributions as the client VM with USB audio devices. You may either install a full linux desktop and use ChucK or miniAudicle, or ssh into the virtual machine and use ChucK over the command line, or run ChucK at init and use MIDI or OSC to communicate with the virtual machined ChucK process. https://www.virtualbox.org/ michael On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 11:42 AM, Pietari Seppänen < pietari.seppanen@pohjoinen.net> wrote:

If you don't need to compile your csound, but settle for a recent binary, installing on windows should be utterly straightforward. When they first went to csound 6, I remember that the windows binary was one of the first available... On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 10:47 AM, Pietari Seppänen < pietari.seppanen@pohjoinen.net> wrote:

Hi Spencer, Previously I only got the chuck_dl error 126. I don't know what's happened, but Chuck does load the chugin now. However, it doesn't work: it doesn't have any of the functions related to FluidSynth (at least 'open' or 'noteOn'). That said, I'm unqualified to even compile these things properly, so I wouldn't go looking for bugs based on my strange process of getting the chug file to appear.

Of course you can only really use the mono versions -- or at least, when it comes to getting sound out, send it to 'out' rather than 'outs' and let chucK deal with it from there. On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 7:13 AM, Forrest Curo wrote:

Csound has the opcodes --

If you've got the examples working, you should be able to put together a .csd file that'll let you use them [At least, I have tested those example and they work. I haven't tested the .csd and instrument codes I'm putting into my own usage, because that's going to be complex, takes time I don't have to write -- & isn't ready to run yet.]

Those opcodes include: fluidAllOut — Collects all audio from all Fluidsynth engines in a performance fluidCCi — Sends a MIDI controller data message to fluid. fluidCCk — Sends a MIDI controller data message to fluid. fluidControl — Sends MIDI note on, note off, and other messages to a SoundFont preset. fluidEngine — Instantiates a fluidsynth engine. fluidLoad — Loads a SoundFont into a fluidEngine, optionally listing SoundFont contents. fluidNote — Plays a note on a channel in a fluidSynth engine. fluidOut — Outputs sound from a given fluidEngine fluidProgramSelect — Assigns a preset from a SoundFont to a channel on a fluidEngine. fluidSetInterpMethod — Set interpolation method for channel in Fluid Engine [& this more low-level stuff that gives you more specific control over subsequent processing]:

sfilist — Prints a list of all instruments of a previously loaded SoundFont2 (SF2) file. sfinstr3 — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample instrument, generating a stereo sound with cubic interpolation. sfinstr3m — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample instrument, generating a mono sound with cubic interpolation. sfinstr — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample instrument, generating a stereo sound. sfinstrm — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample instrument, generating a mono sound. sfload — Loads an entire SoundFont2 (SF2) sample file into memory. sflooper — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample preset, generating a stereo sound, with user-defined time-varying crossfade looping. sfpassign — Assigns all presets of a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample file to a sequence of progressive index numbers. sfplay3 — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample preset, generating a stereo sound with cubic interpolation. sfplay3m — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample preset, generating a mono sound with cubic interpolation. sfplay — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample preset, generating a stereo sound. sfplaym — Plays a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample preset, generating a mono sound. sfplist — Prints a list of all presets of a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample file. sfpreset — Assigns an existing preset of a SoundFont2 (SF2) sample file to an index number.
