[chuck-users] stupid n00bie question: Part III

[joerg piringer]

there's a zero crossing unit-gen in chuck:
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen_full.html#zerox

the example is not very meaningful i am afraid.

here's some code i hacked together in a few minutes. it has some flaws 
(don't know exactly why i have to divide by four to get the correct 
value), but it works somehow.

to use your mic you should substitute the SawOsc with adc.

SawOsc o => ZeroX z => blackhole;
o => dac;

1000 => o.freq;

0 => float val;
0 => float counter;
0 => float sampcounter;
1::second/1::samp => float samplerate;

<<< "samplerate: ", samplerate >>>;

while(true)
{
	if(z.last() != val)
	{
		z.last() => val;
		1 +=> counter;
	}
	1 +=> sampcounter;
	if(sampcounter > samplerate)
	{
		<<< "freq: ", counter/4 >>>;
		0 => sampcounter;
		0 => counter;
	}
	1::samp => now;
}
