Top
An inexpensive beef cut taken from between the neck and shoulder blade. The most popular cuts of chuck are roasts and steaks. Chuck roasts usually include a portion of the blade bone, which is why they're sometimes referred to as blade pot roasts. For maximum tenderness, chuck cuts must be cooked slowly, as in stewing or braising.

ChucK is a concurrent, strongly timed audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance,[2] which runs on Mac OS X, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and iPhone/iPad. It is designed to favor readability and flexibility for the programmer over other considerations such as raw performance. It natively supports deterministic concurrency and multiple, simultaneous, dynamic control rates. Another key feature is the ability to add, remove, and modify code on the fly, while the program is running, without stopping or restarting. It has a highly precise timing/concurrency model, allowing for arbitrarily fine granularity. It offers composers and researchers a powerful and flexible programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis programs, and real-time interactive control.[citation needed]
ChucK is distributed freely under the terms of the GNU General Public License on Mac OS X, Linux and Microsoft Windows. On iPhone/iPad, ChiP (ChucK for iPhone) is distributed under a limited, closed source license, and is not currently licensed to the public. However, "the core team would like to explores (sic) ways to open ChiP by creating a beneficial environment for everyone".[3]

Language features
The ChucK programming language is a loosely C-like object-oriented language, with strong static typing.
ChucK is distinguished by the following characteristics:[4]
- Direct support for real-time audio synthesis
- A powerful and simple concurrent programming model
- A unified timing mechanism for multi-rate event and control processing.
- A language syntax that encourages left-to-right syntax and semantics within program statements.
- Precision timing: a strongly timed sample-synchronous timing model.
- Programs are dynamically compiled to ChucK virtual machine bytecode.
- A runtime environment that supports on-the-fly programming.
ChucK standard libraries provide:
- MIDI input and output.
- Real-time control via the Open Sound Control protocol.
- Synthesis Toolkit unit generators.
Code example
The following is a simple ChucK program that generates sound and music:
// our signal graph (patch)
SinOsc s => JCRev r => dac;
// set gain
.2 => s.gain;
// set dry/wet mix
.1 => r.mix;
// an array of pitch classes (in half steps)
[ 0, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11 ] @=> int hi[];
// infinite time loop
while( true )
{
// choose a note, shift registers, convert to frequency
Std.mtof( 45 + Std.rand2(0,3) * 12 +
hi[Std.rand2(0,hi.cap()-1)] ) => s.freq;
// advance time by 120 ms
120::ms => now;
}
Uses
ChucK has been used in performances by the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) and for developing Smule applications, including their ocarina emulator.[5] PLOrk organizers attribute some the uniqueness of their performances to the live coding they can perform with ChucK.[6]

"The other thing that set PLOrk apart from the beginning was its use of a text-based program called ChucK, developed by a Princeton graduate student. ChucK allows the user to code quickly—similar to live coding—and "on the fly" for a performance, allowing for the spontaneity and real-time interaction that is important in live music performance. "ChucK is the only language that I know of that was designed from the outset to facilitate that," Trueman says. The program is also "concurrent," meaning that it can handle many different processes going on at once. Its "innate sense of time" allows performers to communicate during live rehearsals and performances, he says, adding that many other laptop musicians probably use a program like Max/MSP (which PLOrk uses in addition to ChucK) or another widely available commercial program. Today some other laptop orchestras—including the Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk), which was directly inspired by PLOrk—also employ ChucK."
