Introduction to Chuck Programming Language
Chuck programming language is a concurrent language. Which is a audio programming language. It is used for real-time synthesis, composition and performance of audio.
It can run on many platforms like Mac OS X, Linux, Microsoft Windows and IOS. It is readable and flexible to the programmers or there consideration of there raw performance.
The chucks programming language have the ability to make changes in the live code like adding, removing and modifying code on the fly means while the program is running without stopping or restarting.
Features of Chuck Programming Language
- It is loosely c-like object-oriented language.
- Chucks support real-time audio synthesis.
- It is a powerful and simple concurrent programming model.
- Programs are dynamically compiled to ChucK virtual machine bytecode.
Example of Chuck Programming Language
The following is a simple Chuck program that generates sound and music.:
{`
// our signal graph (patch)
SinOsc f => dac;
// set gain
.3 => f.gain;
// an array of pitch classes (in half steps)
[ 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10 ] @=> int hi[];
// infinite time loop
while( true )
{
// choose a note, shift registers, convert to frequency
Std.mtof( 65 + Std.rand2(0,1) * 43 +
hi[Std.rand2(0,hi.cap()-1)] ) => f.freq;
// advance time by 120 ms
120::ms => now;
}
`}
