My blog diagrammes modernes now has several articles of interest to this community, including one on ChucK. More are coming soon. Hope this stirs up some interest.

welcome robin, didn't read all, but it looks interesting enough to go back later.

They funded a specific research project for a environmentally responsive sound installation. One part of this research was about software environments, another part about hardware sensors, and yet another concerned certain specific theoretical issues.

So, the articles I have and will publish are only a small part of what they sponsored. On the flip side, my work is ongoing and was only sponsored by them for a certain period of 2007.

What can I say Very Happy

I'd be interested to read a bit more about the installation.

Thanks for your interest!

There is a lot more I could write about Numbers In The Dark and will when I have time. An article outlining the theory was supposed to have been published by now... not sure what's up with that. The installation itself has not happened yet... timeline is for next year.

Thanks, robin746.

There are many wonderful articles there.
It'd be a great resource for me and some of my friends / fellow electro-musicians friends.

I'll keep watching. Very Happy

Thanks for the comments! Hope you checked out both the blogs. diagrammes modernes is for programming concerns while Theatre of Noise is more artistic. So both have articles on my sound art, from different perspectives. I also have separate websites for my music, plus a MySpace profile etc. Over 250 posts in total. And about a dozen sound samples spread over the place.

Access them all from robinparmar.com.

4. Multiple sound card outputs (eg: more than 2) are supposed to be addressable, but I have not got this to work.



Asuming Windows;

-get the ASIO patch from this forum.

-use "ChucK --probe" to make sure your soundcard now looks larger then it previously was (in and outputs over 2 supported)

-start ChucK using the "channels" parameters like this;
chuck --channels6 --loop myfile.ck

-send all signals to dac.chan(n) instead of to the dac straight as that will make them end up on all outputs.

-Make sure you never send something to a dac.chan() that's higher then the number of channels asked for at startup or you'll get a nullpointer error.

That's about it, enjoy.

Ah. That would be the issue. Looking at the docs I decided the syntax was:
chuck --channels(6)

Ha ha!

Now it works. Thanks!

For those that are interested, here's my code for four-channel pan.ck:

Code:
// white noise four-channel "pan"
Noise n;
n => Gain gfl => dac.chan(0);
n => Gain gfr => dac.chan(1);
n => Gain grl => dac.chan(2);
n => Gain grr => dac.chan(3);

.4 => n.gain;
5::second => dur panperiod;
6::second => dur fadeperiod;

while(true) {
   (Math.sin( now / panperiod * 2 * pi ) +1) / 2 => float panamount;
   (Math.sin( now / fadeperiod * 2 * pi ) +1) / 2 => float fadeamount;

   panamount * fadeamount => gfl.gain;
   (1-panamount) * fadeamount => gfr.gain;

   panamount * (1-fadeamount) => grl.gain;
   (1-panamount) * (1-fadeamount) => grr.gain;

   10::ms => now;
}

Yup. And analogue mixing. The ASIO patch was like coming out of the dark-ages.

BTW, if in doubt about startup syntax "chuck --help" will provide all of it.
