Dear all, chuck-1.1.4.6 is released, mostly with many new STK unit generators, and additions (like READ functionality for unit generator parameters) for many existing ones. Thanks to Phil Davidson! Also see improved unit generator documentation at: http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen.html Also, we have put in some unit generators for low-latency audio over UDP, which are in very early but functional stages. (Ananya Misra and I are working to make them and other components better) Happy ChucKing! http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ --- 1.1.4.6 - 2004.8.26 - added netin/netout unit generators (alpha version) - added a lot of STK unit generators (thanks to philipd) (over 80% of STK is now imported) - fixed Shakers (thanks to philipd) : examples/shake-o-matic.ck - better compilation for cygwin - minor bugs fixes - added many READ functionality for ugen parameters see online documentation new ugens: - netout (alpha version) - audio over UDP (see net_send.ck) - netin (alpha version) - audio over UDP (see net_recv.ck) - Chorus (STK) - Envelope (STK) - NRev (STK) - PRCRev (STK) - Modulate (STK) - PitShift (STK) - SubNoise (STK) - WvIn (STK) - WvOut (STK) - BlowBotl (STK) - FM group (STK) - BeeThree - FMVoices - HevyMetl - PercFlut - TubeBell new examples: - shake-o-matic.ck - STK shakers going bonkers - net_send.ck - oneway sender - net_recv.ck - oneway recv - net_relay.ck - redirect Best, ChucK Team

Dear All, chuck-1.1.4.5 is released. This will hopefully be the last incremental release before the next major version (1.1.5.0) to contain arrays + objects. this release is also in CVS. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ --- 1.1.4.5 - 2004.8.14 - fixed bug for multiple declarations - made functions local to shred by default (this may break programs that shares functions) (a fix is on the way) - shadowing now works - add 'blackhole' ugen for ticking ugens - added std.mtof (philipd) - added std.ftom - added std.dbtorms - added std.rmstodb - added std.dbtopow - added std.powtodb new ugens: - blackhole - the silent sample sucker - Wurley (STK) - Rhodey (STK) - OnePole (STK) - OneZero (STK) - PoleZero (STK) - TwoPole (STK) - TwoZero (STK) new examples: - powerup.ck ( (ab)use of TwoPole and sporking) - i-robot (building feedback filters) - voic-o-form.ck (music for replicants) - rhodey/wurley.ck (more stk-o-matics) chuck-dev

Audicle
by smoerk 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

I read the Audicle paper (ICMC 2004). Sounds cool! I wonder how you display the six-sided cube on a screen or do you use 6 screens for performances? Are 3D interfaces (on 2D screens) expedient for computer music? (i'm a little bit sceptical) Did I understand it correctly, that there is one dsp-server that renders the audio in a networked setup with several people/computers? does this mean that one can bog down the dsp-server with a resource hungry patch?

features and stupid ideas
by smoerk 07 Aug '04

07 Aug '04

okay, i'm writing down some raw ideas, not well thought-out: - some way to control chuck from an external program. could be OSC or anything else. - would it be possible to port Pd (puredata) externals to chuck? i had this idea, because someone ported Supercollider ugens to Pd recently. (Same question for Supercollider ugens or Csound opcodes). - streaming of raw audio over the network? (like jack.udp). problem: how to keep two chuck instances in sync, if they are running on different soundcards? - streaming of lossly compressed audio (ogg/vorbis, musepack or mp3). like pdogg~ for Pd. problem: latency off ogg container (raw vorbis could help, libfishsound?) - chuck library that could be embedded in other applications. maybe similar to ecasound. - don't invent funny names for ugens. Pd's objects for example don't have the most intuitive names, Csound is worse. Supercollider and Open Sound World do it right (IMHO). I guess this are not the most important features to work on. :-) Maybe I will have other suggestions later...

by Ge Wang 06 Aug '04

Dear All, version 1.1.4.4 is released. we will release intermediate versions while we are adding objects/arrays/events/osc - these aren't in the release yet. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ --- 1.1.4.4 has several additions / fixes - on-the-fly shreds now correctly resolves existing functions, and have correct ID. STK WaveLoop can load many built-in raw waves and there is STK Moog and STK Mandolin --- new examples (fire up mand-o-matic!!). See below for other additions! --- chuck-1.1.4.4 - 2004.8.2 - added sndfile patch for jack/sndfile (Martin Rumori) - added special raw wav for WaveLoop (philipd, gewang) (see examples/dope.ck) "special:ahh" "special:eee" "special:ooo" "special:britestk" "special:dope" "special:fwavblnk" "special:halfwave" "speical:impuls10" "special:impuls20" "special:impuls40" "special:mand1" "special:mandpluk" "special:marmstk1" "special:peksblnk" "special:ppksblnk" "special:slience" "speical:sineblnk" "special:sinewave" "special:snglpeak" "special:twopeaks" - fixed shred shreduling ID bug for on-the-fly added shreds - fixed function resolution for on-the-fly added shreds - added math.nextpow2( int n ) (Niklas Werner, gewang) new STK ugens: (philipd) - Mandolin (see examples/mandolin.ck examples/mand-o-matic.ck) - Moog (see examples/moogie.ck) new examples: - mandolin.ck (use of STK mandolin) - mand-o-matic (fire it up!) - dope.ck (Homer's WaveLoop using internal STK sound) - print_last.ck (prints last ugen output) - wind2.ck (2 shreds control parameters) Happy ChucKing! Best, chuck-dev

hi, new to this list and to chuck... just tried it the first time... attached a small patch against src/util_sndfile.h to $ make linux-jack actually happen... osc.ck then worked with that. bests, rm -ri
