Any Coders here? -> ChucK

[massplanck]

I have chuck doing mad shit in abelton now. I'm only using chuck as a midi generator (im not routing audio from it yet) but if anyone is going to give this ago here a few things i had to do.

install Midi Yoke (virtual midi ports between devices)
http://www.midiox.com/index.htm?http....com/myoke.htm

download this

rename the file to chuck.exe and copy over your existing chuck executable.
This file is version of chuck compiled for ASIO. But some dude wrote it himself, so make a backup of your origional exe incase something goes wrong.

get this -> Its a class someone created which chuck which simplifies/wraps the process of sending midi messages

Now for some reason i have to copy the midiesender class into each file i use to generate midi (it can never find it unless it there).

do a chuck --probe and make sure you can see your midiyoke ports and what they are numbered as

now here the code for getting a note to play

MIDIsender midi; // create a midisender object
midi.open(3); // whatever port you have chosen
midi.set_channel(1); // the default.

midi.noteon(60, 40);
1::second => now;
midi.noteoff(60);

make sure your softsynth in abelton is ready to recieve on that channel and huzzah you have chuck driving it.

I havent a ****ing clue how to get MIDI sync/clock working yet though!
