Hi all

I have written a script in Chuck which is meant to play back segments of a sample in random order and at different speed and direction. The script has some variables build into it, e.g. the amount of segments the imported sample is split into, as well as the different playback speeds that might occur. Here's my Chuck script:

/* Chuck Computer Music - Chop, reorder and play at different speeds */ /* load sample*/ SndBuf buffer => dac; me.dir() + "/Users/Matthias/Music/Chuck/Samples/" + "sample3.wav" => buffer.read; 1 => buffer.loop;

/* get the number of samples in the file, divide by 16*/ buffer.samples() / 16 => int s; /* define a duration 'tick' */ s::samp => dur tick; while(true) { if (Std.rand2(1,10) < 4) { s * Std.rand2(0,15) => buffer.pos; }

/* randomly set the rate of the buffer from half to double speed, with weighted probability */ if (Std.rand2(1,10) < 2) {-2 => buffer.rate;} else if (Std.rand2(1,10) < 1) {1.5 => buffer.rate;} else if (Std.rand2(1,10) < 1) {0.75 => buffer.rate;} else if (Std.rand2(1,10) < 3) {0.5 => buffer.rate;} else {1 => buffer.rate;} tick => now; }

Now, I would like to create a M4L instrument out of this Chuck script, in order to use it more easily when producing music in Ableton 10. Can anyone recommend me tutorials/guidelines on how to implement Chuck in Max for Live? I have read about the Chuck~ object but it's not available in my Max environment. Should I download it or is it outdated? I do have encountered the ability to "import" plug-ins into the Max environment, but I would like some extra info on that as well.

So, in the end. I just want Max for Live to communicate with Chuck. Any tips please?

Thanks in advance! Matthias
