Currently the chuck~ object only has one outlet.

Stereo output is needed so that chuck programs with stereo output such as panning or use of dac.right and dac.left can be directed to separate outlets in Max.

Hi Shakeeb,

following our quick interaction on the Cycling74 forum here a more in-depth issue for troubleshooting (i'm not very experienced, it might be me causing it).

I'm compiling the external myself using the Terminal on an M1 Pro Macbook. I used the following command:

git clone https://github.com/shakfu/chuck-max.git
cd chuck-max
make universal
make setup

Running this gives me the following error message:

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
CodeSign /Users/.../Documents/Max\ 8/Packages/max-sdk/build/chuck-max/chuck-max/externals/chuck~.mxo (in target 'chuck_tilde' from project 'chuck-max')
(1 failure)
make: *** [universal] Error 65
... symlink created

The external is built completely with its folder in my Max8 directory. Max finds it when typing in an empty object but prints the error message "chuck~: could not load due to incorrect architecture".

Thanks for taking a look, if you can!

With the new file structure under examples/, now the .maxpat test files don't run.

For example, patchers/tests/test_callback.maxpat has the chuck~ object with this file argument:
chuck~ test-callback.ck

Now it needs to be:
chuck~ test/test-callback.ck

This is true for the other .maxpat files.

Also it looks like you have changed maxtest.ck to max/test.ck.

This is a suggestion to build out an Overview patch.

Many Max externals provide an Overview patch that loads in the Max Extras menu. Good overviews give more detail on how to use the external, example patches, use cases, tutorials, etc. I think something similar would be good here. This would be a good way to organize and present different demo patches, but also to provide tips on usage, and discuss different use cases for chuck-max.

Examples of Externals with Overviews:
Bach, Cage, Rhythm and Time Toolkit, Flucoma, etc.

I already have a short list of usage tips I've been collecting - some are simple and obvious, but good for anyone starting out. And I have thoughts on what types of things chuck-max is good for.

This issue / topic is for a discussion on how to improve chuck-max's current examples.

A few ideas:

• Should the current set of examples
  • incorporate any of the newer or more recent examples from the chuck project?
  • be replaced by a smaller set demonstrating chuck-max interaction?
• Should unit-test-like examples be organized separately in a tests folder?
• ...

Currently all Max UI objects that input to chuck~ reflect value changes to the console:

chuck~ • param carGain: 0.400000
chuck~ • param modIndex: 5000
chuck~ • param modIndex: 5001

This is sometimes useful but can be distracting when using chuck debug comments/messages. It is particularly intrusive when sending continuous change values from a slider or scrolling a number value.

Suggested behavior:
attribute name: paramConsoleOutput
values: 0 / 1
default: 1 (on)
behavior: Max UI objects will only output param values to console when attribute is set to 1.

make: *** [native] Error 65
I've tried removing the build folder and running make again. But I get the same error code.

These look like the most relevant ones from the callback changes:

I also got these warnings about Gestalt is deprecated in RtAudio
