One-Line ChucK Crazy

Chuckles; nearly everything can read .txt files, not just Windows. Plain text is by far the safest format to use if you have no idea what the other guy is using (but can't rule out Atari's, Amigas, etc). ChucK can run .txt files just fine too, no need to rename.

Kijjaz; I realy love what you are doing and I'd like to join in but one line is so very short. I tried but wasn't able to come up with anything post-worthy.

Play this (not too soft!), sit back, and relax..

The code is probably not too interesting as I'm still very new to ChucK, but I thought it sounded interesting enough to share.

I'm back with more noises.
this feedback loop sounds good but different at different sample rates.
it generates some sequences of evolving sound apttern cycles all the time.

i'm listening to it at 44100 sample rate.
it kinda produces some silent gaps also. it sounds more complex then.

I've decided to collect some more ideas,
maybe very simple, but fun to do, for the one-line chuck.
so here it goes:

feel free to join and make more cute noodles (patches).

This one sounds like a motorcycle and varies its revving pattern over time:

I love how "press select" does something slightly different every time yet it all fits the name.

Last one is best for me, really old-school video game boss-explosion; Be attitude for gains!

Go Kijjaz!

Here is a fun one, it's a musical instrument that goes "Boing" when you touch the microphone:

Here is a very simple one, it is just a SinOsc in a feedback loop with the speakers and mic. Very interactive.

This one will sound like you are playing an arcade game from the 80's and will also vocode your voice (once you get the volume adjusted properly)

Inventor · Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 7:29 pm Post subject:

This one is just a change of the previous one, but it produces a very good demonic vocoder effect. Sounds like you're a demon or something. Spooky, I may use it in a song.

Kassen: Thanks! ^_^ I'm loving it hahaha..

Inventor: wow.. yes these ones you did is cool for dealing with acoustic feedback of its own patch ^_^..

i'd like to play more with this simple one:

this is really fun!

great idea and has intrduced me to some fundamentally different ways of using ChucK.

thank you!

p.s. hopefully will post something soon but my efforts so far have been poor

Rinko, I have had some success with the following one-liner approach:

cheers Inventor, just having a play with that now!

if only I could ChucK all day instead of work...hmmm

still aiming for something postworthy!

I've synced the Frequency with the volume of the mic
try changing the g.gain value to adjust the frequency range

nice one, yellow onion, and welcome!

I've been wanting to grab the RMS value from a 10ms period (100Hz) and dynamically change it ever sample, maybe I don't need to do this part 10ms is probably short enough to not notice a difference
this way you can get more smoother sounds at higher frequencies
probably be dynamite on the CPU though,

I just realised a RMS calculator is in the analyse section, heh

kijjaz · Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:25 pm Post subject:

I was implementing the way to measure energy / loudness with this method:

(signal) => Gain g; (signal) => Gain dummy => g; 3 => g.op;
// to calculate signal ^ 2
Gain g => Gain sum => Gain sum_feedback => sum;
// to accumulate signal ^ 2
// and we can set sum_feedback.gain to change release ratio.
// normally, I calculate this ratio from 1.0-DecayRate/SampleRate

If we take square root of sum.last(), we'll have RMS right away.
but it might take too many characters for a one-line chuck.
so using the sum.last() right away is okay.
the DecayRate tells how long you want to accumulate from the (signal).

Erased post, misunderstood kijjaz's code. It's OK the way it is. Bleh, what a slow week this is on the forum! We need a little excitement.

Here's my one using the RMS analyser

Inventor · Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:55 am Post subject:

That was a cool one yellow onion. and it looks like it fits on two lines of 80 characters. so it's the big brother of one line ChucK, it is two line ChucK. haha. It makes an interesting sound that changes with volume and responds to voice, nice work.

That's why I had another topic in this forum: Two-Line ChucK Crazy - for use with unit analyzers.. hehhe.
