[chuck-users] instruments extending StkInstrument

[Spencer Salazar]

With regards to building your own unit generators, if you already  
have a C or C++ implementation of your instrument/filter/etc., its  
not too difficult to integrate that at compile-time into ChucK--there  
is a fairly straighforward mechanism for defining new ChucK classes  
and ugens, including fancy things like inheritance.  Id say the only  
thing stopping users from implementing new compiled-in ugens right  
now is the lack of documentation.

There is also a run-time plugin mechanism that exists in the source,  
but Im not positive that it is completely hooked-in and functional at  
the moment.  Actually, getting that worked out is one of the things  
thats on the ChucK summer fun in the sun list.
