I just wanted to say hello to everybody..

i'm new here, and i came across chuck a couple of days ago. i was playing around with it and WOW - Really Great software..
why didn't i know about that earlier?

And I have some questions too:

- the documentation says to start chuck in loop mode + get the focus back you can use --loop& - but this does not seem to work? (using WinXP / and chuck version 1.2.0.7)..

- is there a way to write classes that have signal in/outputs? so you can use the chuck operator, for example adc => myObject o => dac ?
(of course you can use 2 ugens as members to use as in/outputs - like:

myObject o;
adc => o.GainIn;
o.GainOut => dac;

bus isn't there a more easy way?

thanks a lot..

I completely forgot where and what example I saw but I trust Spencer on this one...
(my oops). It'd be nice to have this, this and about a thousand other things on the list.... (do those Princeton people get any sleep at all?)

I'm from the Netherlands, I understand German, both written and spoken and I can speak it as long as I can get used to it again for a while and speak slowly. My written german sucks. Badly.

I fear I'm of little help there but at least I got introduced to ChucK in Germany (in a Berlin kitchen, of all places...). The Hague is on the West coast of the Netherlands so about as far from Germany as one can get in my small country, still in my experience Germany has nice people, nice beer and nice techno so I like to visit it when I can. Smile

Edit; oops! I just noticed that last line wasn't adressing me, sorry.

TZ,

The problem is with Windows; the windows prompt is still based in syntax on DOS and so doesn't realy deal with multi-tasking that well. It's just a matter of syntax. A solution that I like is having two links to the prompt in my start menu. They have different names ("green" and "blue") and use different colours so I don't mix them up.

I don't use the Audlicle either; it has some sort of issue with my laptop's graphical card. The miniAudicle is rapidly maturing though, it's quite stable, has line numbers, a easy conection to the VM with keyboard shortcuts and syntax highlighting is being implemented as well. I still think the Audicle is mind-blowing so once it matures and I get a faster laptop I'd like to use it.
