ChucK Manual

  • If you download the command line ChucK, you can easily access the ChucK manual by going to the location where your ChucK  folder you have just downloaded is. By default, it is usually saved in the downloads, but depending on your settings, it might be stored on the Desktop or somewhere else. You can also move the folder to where you would like to access it from
  • Double click on the ChucK folder
  • Three other folders and a bunch of other files will show up, but double click on the doc folder now
  • Double click on the ChucK manual in order to open it. Congratulations you have just accessed the handy ChucK manual—your key to becoming a ChucK-pro

  3. Lucy,

    I read the following in the tutorial attached at 3.1 Shell Commands and using network connections.
    http://soundlab.cs.princeton.edu/publications/miniAudicle_icmc2006.pdf

    Using the vm@ command, users can specify a network address and port number to which these commands are sent (ChucK virtual machines typically bind to a port on the host machine to listen for commands over the network.)

    Excerpt:
    "However, humans are highly sensitive to timing variability, and wireless networks are often not up to the challenge. For instance, when sending pulses over the network every 200ms, humans will hear jitter if the arrival times vary by more than 6ms (the just-noticeable-difference), and some researchers have concluded that expressive variability occurs even within that window (Iyer, 1998). Some preliminary research has been done on the musical usability of wireless routers (Cerqueira et. al., 2010), but the perfect wireless router for musical purposes has yet to be found.

    1. Looks like I better get those ethernet cables. Also, communication could be about other things. Like what key to play in, what instruments are being used, the contents of a wavetable, a sensor value, a game of life state change, etc.
