Using ChucK to control a Eurorack Modular Synthesizer

Using ChucK to control a Eurorack modular synthesizer. from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.

"I love integrating software and hardware so, even since I've started learning ChucK, one of my main goals was to write a program that I could use to control my modular synth.
This video shows one of my experiments using both technologies to create some very interesting glitchy patterns.

Here's a super nerdy explanation of what's going on in this video:
The ChucK program basically sends, per note, 2 triggers and 4 random CV offsets based on an auto-generated pattern. It generates these patterns by dividing a 1 bar measure by a random number (which you can define the maximum amount) and sending a trigger for each division. In other words: if it randomly selects to divide it by 8, you'll get a bar of eight notes/triggers.
The 2 triggers are being used to generate AD envelopes using the MakeNoise Maths MK2 and the 4 CV offsets control the Z3000 pitch (via Linear FM), the WMD Geiger Counter WaveTable (via the WaveTable CV input), the uVCA CV A (pre-Geiger Counter) and the Maths CH. 1 decay. By using these random CV offsets, you can get a different sound for each note/hit.
