Chuck Music Programming Language

I first came across Chuck at Electro-Music.com, which deserves a post of its own, on electro-music there is a sub forum for the Chuck Language.

what is it? : ChucK is a new (and developing) audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, performance, and now, analysis - fully supported on MacOS X, Windows, and Linux. ChucK presents a new time-based, concurrent programming model that's highly precise and expressive (we call this strongly-timed), as well as dynamic control rates, and the ability to add and modify code on-the-fly. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OSC, HID device, and multi-channel audio. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis/analysis programs, and real-time interactive control. * from the Chuck website

One of the main developers (and all of the references in the Wikipedia article) is Ge Wang, below is his introductory speech at Stanford University.


I am looking forward to using this in the future, I think my first program will be implementing prophet '08 specific midi program for my latest synth purchase.
