Chuckin' along -- a new song Windsounds |
|
|
Here's is a ChucK song I wrote. It's the first time I've written something out completely. Quite fun!
If you don't have Chuck or just want to hear the file, download the mp3.
If you want to check out the ChucK file, samples and machines, or just want to play the song on your own chuck, download the zip file. I had to zip up the samples and some machine files into one zip file. Download the zip file. Unzip it where you like. In your terminal, go into the folder "windsounds". Then chuck the file "windsounds.ck", Chuck will handle the rest. I hope you like it.
Feel free to use it anyway you like, just give me credit. And if it is useful to you, let me know how.
I look forward to seeing a lot of posted chuck tunes. I hope to learn from others code and give a little in return. Working together we may do some interesting things!

wow! nice work!
however,
is it normal that each time the line changes, there's a little clipping sound or tiny blank?
or my ibook is not powerful enough to run the file correctly?
sorry, i've just started with chuck today, i just wonder...
anyway, thank you for the nice track, and hope to hear more from you!! |

I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.
As to your question, I run a really huge self-built PC running a really sleek audio optimized Ubuntu (Debian), and I'm using the latest kernels in edgy eft with millisecond latencies. I'm afraid I might outpace a lot of off-the-shelf systems without realizing it. They are like 30 function calls to FM synthesis and ring mods and STKs in the course of 2min 30 sec. I'm glad you pointed this out to me. I had forgotten. The mp3 is how it sounds on my system. Even if the code doesn't run smoothly, you can listen to the mp3 and look at the code. And also, I'm a musician, not a programmer, so my code is hardly efficient. I just lay it out the way musicians think, not in terms of machine efficiency like most programmers consider. I am going to work on this deficiency of mine, as efficient and beautiful coding is part of the delicate art of computer music. _________________ All phenomena are atoms in association and dissociation. |

I like this one - the mp3 - but I can't listen to the Chuck directly - in miniAudicle.
I extracted all of the files in a directory. mini-Audicle started - started the Virtual Machine - opened windsounds.ck in the File menu - then hit Add Schred. It can't find the other files in the directory.
Is there a config option to tell mini-audicle to use the current directory as its path? _________________ --Howard

Yep-- If you are using miniAudicle on OS X, head over to the Preferences window (miniAudicle menu->Preferences), and click on the Miscellaneous tab. There you should be able to change the current directory by hitting the "Select..." button. It picks ~/ by default regardless of how/where you started the app, but it will remember if you change it in Preferences.
On Linux/Windows... this functionality is still on its way... for the present I think there is a CurrentDirectory option somewhere in .miniAudicle or miniAudicle's win32 registry entry that can be changed. miniAudicle will cd to this directory on startup.

Thanks, Spencer. I'm running XP.
Suggest that there be an option that mini-a automatically cd to that of the last file opened. _________________ --Howard

thats a pretty good idea. there was a request for something similar to that (i think (big)Audicle cds to the enclosing directory of the active document). there are a few catches, for example running this program:
Code: | 10::second => now; Machine.add( "file.ck" ); |
and then opening another file in a different directory before 10 seconds has elapsed will cause the first program to fail. This is a trivial example, but I can imagine some more complicated ones that could burn someone if they're not careful or don't know about this feature. But if this caveat is explicitly documented, this could definitely go in as an optional user-enabled feature.
Something that I think would also be a good solution to this are Std.chdir() and Std.pwd() functions in ChucK itself...

glad you liked it
i'm just getting my feet wet in chuck but it's coming along.
i'm also glad it could work out in audicle eventually. i don't use audicle, but command line, since i kept crashing audicle in composition. also i use linux, so don't always know osx or windows concerns, especially 1.2.6 on. _________________ All phenomena are atoms in association and dissociation. |
