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
