Chuck : Strongly-timed, Concurrent, And On-the-fly Audio Programming Language

For those of you looking for an alternative to just having to use Live, check out a programming language.

.:Chuck Website:.

ChucK is a new audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance - fully supported on MacOS X, Windows, and Linux. ChucK presents a new time-based concurrent programming model, which supports a highly precise and fundamental level of expressiveness (we call this strongly-timed), as well as multiple, simultaneous, dynamic control rates, precise and straightforward concurrency, and the ability to add, remove, and modify code on-the-fly - while the program is running. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OSC, HID input devices, and multi-channel audio. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful and flexible programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis programs and real-time interactive control. Happy ChucKing!
