    chuck-max is a project to embed the chuck engine in a Max/MSP external.
    It currently has one external (chuck~) with the following features:
    - Generate and process audio via an embedded chuck engine by running chuck files with `global` parameters adjusted and controlled in realtime via Max messages.
    - Layer sounds by running multiple chuck files concurrently.
    - Add and remove audio and audio processes on the fly via Max messages.
    - Includes most of the standard ccrma chugins
    The project's repo is: https://github.com/shakfu/chuck-max
    While this is not a release yet of the external itself, the repo contains all of the external's dependencies and is very straightforward to compile using the standard Max SDK build system.
    PS: this is project is inspired by Professor Brad Garton's original chuck~ external for Max 5. The chuck and Max apis have changed considerably since then, so a minimal rewrite was necessary with a view to incorporating some of the original external's features eventually.
    Enjoy! S

      Fantastic! This is really great work you are doing. This may actually get learning chuck to buble up high enough on my list! :-)
      Reminds me I need to do an M1 version of the Csound6 object.....

      Thanks, Iain. It's nice to work on audio externals for a change (-:
