[chuck-users] Getting Started with ChucK

[Lucas Samaruga]

Hi

In ChucK you don't have .kr or .ar signal divided, the kr signals are
defined in the code with control structures related to the time
structure. And the programming paradigm is a bit different.

SinOsc mod => blackhole;
SinOsc car => dac;

440 => float bfreq;
20 => mod.freq;
300 => mod.gain;

// the connection between ugens is inside the loop
while( true ) {
    bfreq + mod.last() => car.freq;
    64::samp => now; // kr
}

In the docs are a lot of examples. sync is other option, see
/examples/basic/fm*.ck

best
Lucas
