ChucK Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Is there any alternative to sonic pi?

  Check out ChucK also (https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/). It's a very capable language and we'll documented. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any programmers here? Curious how people have combined coding and music.

  I am a programmer by trade but don't often combine it with my musical endeavors. I briefly messed with https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ for live coding shows in college but honestly its very restrictive. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there music done using the generated patterns by a cross section of a 4d moving object?

  Also, a programming language geared towards music can help with process-driven composition. Max/MSP or ChucK for instance. Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Haskell School of Music (book) [pdf]

  I haven't coded music in haskell, but I've coded it in Max/MSP and ChucK and I enjoyed them both https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ https://cycling74.com/products/max. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• The cat looks at the rain and sits on the code that draws it all, Aleha, Digital, 2020

  Pretty cool, reminds me of when I was trying to learn how to make music using ChucK. It turned out to be more trouble than its worth since I can do live performance with Ableton, but code/art crossover is a cool area of overlap that I don't think has been thoroughly explored yet.

• Alda – Text-Based Programming Language for Music Composition

  I love these text-based languages for music composition. Its something that is approaching a gap in music composition in real-life vs via computer. In real-life you can tell your bandmates to "just play a I V IV in C" and they get it. But we are still not quite at a place where we can tell a computer that exact phrase and get something useful. I love how close these text-based languages are getting though! I've... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Would anybody else be interested in a creative coding episode?

  I'd be curious. I've dabbled in ChucK, MaxMSP and a couple of others, but not extensively in pd or Supercollider. (Haven't heard of Sonic Pi or Tidal Cycles, but I haven't really done much new work in that realm in about 9 years, so they may be more recent developments or weren't on my radar before.).

• no DAW, no hardware either: built a house track from scratch by writing code in SuperCollider

  This is fantastic. Supercollider and PD have always been something I wanted to dive into. Have you heard of Chuck at all? It’s a audio programming language designed around live performance. Might be right up your alley. https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu. Source: about 3 years ago

• Trying to get my nephew (11) excited about programming.

  If he likes making noise (and what kid doesn't) have a look at chuck. Source: about 3 years ago

• Electric guitar effects

  Honorable mentions for audio programming languages are ChucK and SuperCollider. Source: about 3 years ago

• I never developed one though

  Go here, and click on the documentation link, which contains tutorials. For more in-depth stuff there's also a book you can buy on Amazon that's linked on that same website. Source: about 3 years ago
