HI Manuel

Just a quick hi to say thanks for the info. As I mentioned in my mail I' a Pure 
Data user, but I'm looking for a better way of connecting stuff up live - I 
don't really have any plan at the present. Live-coding looks interesting, 
although it often seems used as a 'disco-house-beat' oriented replacement.I'd 
like to try and incorporate it more into my playing. 

Here's a clip (soundcloud) of the type of thing I'd love to be able to do live, 
but is it possible - record short clips of saxophone, re-read them into my 
system and improvise them back live? Of course you'll notice that the clip is 
completely built up on a DAW.

Anyhow, I'm going to look into what you've just written and get back to you 
again very shortly. A big thanks for your email.

All the bestJoe

Subject: Re: [chuck-users] ChucK for live musicians

Hey Joe,



I don't know whether it is possible to edit a .ck file during execution and 
hear the changes. I doubt it, due to the strongly timed language design. But 
that's not a big deal. Files in supercollider do not exactly correspond to 
files in ChucK. The closest comparison I'd dare to give is that instrument 
definitions (usually 1 line with many nestings) in supercollider correspond to 
shreds (or files) in ChucK. So if you want to have changes to your setup live, 
change the file in audicle and reload it. If you want to add more instruments 
or effects, open a new file, edit it and run it paralelly to the already 
running files.

Sorry, if I'm glossing over too many technical details, please feel free to ask 
for them.



But maybe you're not really interested in live coding after all? You can still 
use ChucK as a customisable, interactive effect machine

adc => Gain g => Chorus c => dac;

g => Delay d => g;

0.5 => d.gain;

0.1::second => d.delay;

This would set up an echo and a chorus for the sound you're recording.

Looping machines are easy to build. Give me a shout if you'd like to know how.



Best, Manuel

hi @ chuck-users lists

I'm busy following the Coursera ChucK course provided by CAL Arts. As a live 
musician I was hoping to discover how one could use ChucK live (in the same way 
as Pure Data, Max/MSP etc). We've seen Ajay Kapur (whom I'm sure you all know) 
using his sitar in a live concert video made at CalArts, but no explanation 
followed. Unfortunately it seems that the course isn't going to cover this 
topic, so I've joined the list hoping people can help me out. 

Would it be possible to start giving me a few basic outlines for how to use 
ChucK via the adc (I'm a sax player). 

If you're interested (and if it works) here's a link to a thread created via 
CalArts and Coursera asking these questions:

https://class.coursera.org/chuck101-001/forum/thread?thread_id=1429#post-7776

You won't be able to comment but y!
 ou will
notice that we all wonder if one should pass via blackhole, if we should use a 
FFT etc. And more important, how?

Thanks in advance
Joe
