[chuck-users] Electronic ChucK

[Peter Todd]

Hi All,
I suspect the charm of this would be the roughness and unpredictability...
the thing'll have a life of its own, with all sorts of emergent sonic
qualities.  Non-audiophile quality isn't a bug, it's a feature.

Not sure it's got all that much to do with chuck, and I very much doubt
it'll make anyone rich... but all good fun.

Cheers,
peter
