Just as a little benefit to everyone out there (and mainly because I myself grew annoyed), I looked up the frequencies for a welltempered scale, hacked out the ChucK commands assigning those frequencies to names I could cope with, looked up a list of MANY canonical scales, hacked that to a format I liked, and produced a small example ChucK script that will play a mandolin tune in any "cultural" melodic context you want. =)
Mand-o-licious. (Thank you!)
By the way. I WANT arrays. This'd be SO much easier with arrays!
Yes, you are totally right. Sorry for delay. They are being implemented, along with a good amount of other things. After ICMC (early November), we go back in full implementation mode - finishing arrays will be first priority. Best, Ge!
