Hello,
miniAudicle-0.1.3.5 (alpha) is now available.
http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/mini/
This release fixes a major bug in miniAudicle-0.1.3.4's audio device
handling, in which starting or using real-time audio would crash
miniAudicle on a wide range of systems, especially Intel-based Mac
and Windows systems. There are also a few smaller bug fixes. This
is a recommended (possibly necessary) upgrade for Intel OS X and
Windows users who are using 0.1.3.4.
Special thanks to Akihiro Kubota and Scott Davidson for their vital
debugging help.
As always please let us know about any problems, bugs, feature
requests, etc., particularly Intel OS X users (some bugs may yet
persist).
thanks,
miniAudicle team

than one audio device was specified as default and one or more
of the
default devices had only input or only output channels

erratically
not light or unlight as directed
- (changed)(Win32,Linux) changed default font size for document
window and
console monitor

Dear all,
Thanks to the excellent efforts of Spencer, there are now chuck
"universal" binaries (for MacOS X only) that work natively on both
powerpc and intel.
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/release/
It's also possible now to build u.b. from source. The version number
is still 1.2.0.6. However, you should see extra information if you
query for version - such as:
> chuck --version
chuck version: 1.2.0.6 (dracula)
exe target: mac os x : universal binary
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
This new information will be available for all platforms, including on
linux, where the information also states the audio subsystem used
(alsa/jack/oss).
Please let know of any issues via email or on chuck-users.
Thanks and keep on ChucKin'
Best,
chuck team
Hello,
miniAudicle-0.1.3.4 (alpha) is now available.
http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/mini/
(may need to reload)
This release fixes many of the compile-time and run-time errors of
the last release for Linux and Windows. Additionally, Linux and
Windows versions now support most of the command line options chuck
does, and will open files specified on the command line (see
miniAudicle --help for more information). Default virtual machine
options and editor text size can now be specified in ~/.miniAudicle
on Linux and the registry in Windows. miniAudicle OS X features
improved performance, the ability to change audio interfaces, and
Universal Binary support (for OS X on both PPC and Intel).
Special thanks to Cédric Krier, Atte André Jensen, Tyler Gillies,
Scott Davidson, Kassen, and the rest of the miniAudicle users for
their input and fixes.
Please let us know about any problems, bugs, feature requests, etc.
thanks,
miniAudicle team

Dear all,
Live from the (ad hoc) Princeton Sound Lab Software
Release Campaign, we bring you the very first release
of TAPESTREA:
tapestrea-0.1.0.0 (tap tap) is now released, for
Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows:
http://taps.cs.princeton.edu/
TAPESTREA (or taps) is a new set of paradigms and
techniques for sound design (new research, led by
Ananya Misra, with Perry Cook, Ge Wang, and others).
TAPESTREA leverages sinusoidal analysis, wavelet-tree
learning, transient analysis, and a new real-time
graphical interface (partly based on the audicle)
to perform analysis, transformation, and synthesis of
sounds through a system of "sound templates".
In addition, one can write ChucK programs to provide
precise control over various parts of the taps system,
and to script compositions combining taps with
"traditional" audio synthesis techniques (or uh,
t.a.s.t.)
In addition to the release, one can find documentation,
papers, audio examples, and a video delineating the
ideas and features of Taps, at the URL above.
We invite you to take a look, fire up the system,
and let us know of any questions and suggestions.
There is also a taps mailing list for releases,
updates, discussion, and development. Join us!
Thanks!!!
Best,
taps team
(Ananya, Perry, Ge, Matt)
Hello,
miniAudicle-0.1.3.3 (alpha) is now available.
http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/mini/
(may need to reload)
This is the first miniAudicle version for which (experimental, but
generally usable) Windows and Linux versions are available.
Additionally, a big CPU draining bug present in previous 0.1.3.x
releases was fixed for miniAudicle OS X (upgrade recommended).
Windows and Linux miniAudicle do not currently support as many
features as OS X miniAudicle, but feature-parity is an eventual
goal. Specifically, miniAudicle User Interface elements are not yet
supported for Linux and Windows. A Windows binary executable is
available; Linux miniAudicle is for now source-only.
Special thanks to Jörg Piringer and his excellent OSCSurface project
for providing ideas on miniAudicle Win32/Linux.
Please let us know about any problems, bugs, feature requests, etc.
thanks,
miniAudicle team

0.1.3.3
- initial Windows release
- initial Linux release
- fixed excessive CPU consumption problem (os x)
- background color option now works (os x)

Hi!
I started to write a syntax highlighting extension for the JOE editor, which
is freely available for Unix, Linux and Mac OS X.
If you are interested, please find further information here:

ChucK is great!
