Dear all,
chuck-1.2.0.5 (dracula) has been released:
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
Among other things, there was a significant update to
the STK unit generators API in ChucK, which includes:
- all STK Instrmnt classes now extend StkInstrument,
sharing .noteOn, .noteOff, .controlChange, and .freq
they include:
- BandedWG
- BlowBotl
- BlowHole
- Bowed
- Brass
- Clarinet
- Flute
- FM (and all its subclasses: BeeThree, FMVoices,
HevyMetl, PercFlut, Rhodey, TubeBell, Wurley)
- Mandolin
- ModalBar
- Moog
- Saxofony
- Shakers
- Sitar
- StifKarp
- VoicForm
- nearly all instrument parameters are now exposed,
both via individual methods (e.g. .vibratoFreq) and
traditional STK control changes
- manual and online documentation improved, and
provides acceptable ranges for most parameters.
- new examples showing how instruments are used
(they are online and also in the distribution):
- chuck now supports HID/Joystick, so it's possible
to control STK ugens using joypads etc.
(play examples/hid/joy-shake.ck in distribution)
completely updated STK documentation:

new (and old) STK examples:

We'd totally appreciate your feedback, so feel free to open fire.
Best,
chuck team
