Thanks for the comments, Ge, I've changed the blog description to one professor (Perry Cook) and students.

 

I'd be glad to publish anyone's material -- you can send it to me directly at  gwms@corninglink.com

or post it to the list or on the wiki (I think I've got most of the likely pages on my watchlist, but you might send me a heads-up note if you'd like it posted on b-chuck). Anyone who's interested to be co-bloggers, just let me know and I'll send you a blogger-invite.

 

I'm currently working on a piece using Mikael  Johansson's scales.ck to provide a full 5 octave scale-note function -- I've seen Mikael's comment about using std.mtof(float) to convert MIDI note values to frequencies, but I haven't learned MIDI yet so I don't know what MIDI notes look like...so I'll do a simple note to frequency converter using made-up integer note value-reps.

This is great - we are in dire need of good tutorials and this seems

like a good

start!  I see that you have made several additions since last night and

linked the

blog from the wiki (I was just about to do the latter for you).  Thank

you for taking

the initiative and time to get this effort going.

 

There are others who have made tutorials on various topics, some of

which

are linked from the wiki, but there isn't really a central effort

(perhaps until now)

to make and collect tutorials.  We would like to encourage that

everyone who

has made demos/tutorials to post them (and to make news ones), through

Gary's blog and the ChucK wiki (perhaps Gary can coordinate this

somehow).

Once we get a good set of tutorials, we can include them in the

distribution and

organize them online.

 

Thanks again Gary and others who are making stuff more lucid and (gasp)

documented.  (!!)

 

Hmm, there is one (very) small typo on the blog that I should point out

(but

only out of conscience, hah): the page currently says that ChucK is

being

developed by two professors (and their students) - almost true.  ChucK

is

the work of -one- professor (that would be Perry) and his students (I

belong

in this second group), some of whom are aspiring to be, but are not yet,

professors.  (But thanks!)

 

Best,

Ge!
