Hello David, This looks very cool.
The docs mention an esp.ck ChucK file and I see it in the 0.42 .zip file but it is not in the source tree on Google Code. michael On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 12:00 PM, David Ogborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear friends, > > I am pleased to announce the official release of version 0.42 of the EspGrid > software - the synchronization and sharing software for laptop ensembles I > have developed around the Cybernetic Orchestra at McMaster, during the > project "Scalable, Collective Traditions of Electronic Sound Performance" > (supported by Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, > SSHRC).
