[chuck-users] Machine.add() and me.yield()

[Michael Heuer]

Hello Mike,

Since Machine.add is hitting the file system and parsing and evaluating the ChucK scripts, it might work better to do all of that in one go when not generating sound

Machine.add("thingOne.ck");
Machine.add("thingTwo.ck");
Machine.add("thingThree.ck");
Machine.add("thingFour.ck");

And then later call methods to initialize them serially or in different shreds, something like

thingOne.start();
thingTwo.start();
thingThree.start();
thingFour.start();

spork ~ thingOne.start();
spork ~ thingTwo.start();
spork ~ thingThree.start();
spork ~ thingFour.start();

Hope this helps,

   michael
