Repository for Officially Supported ChuGins

Prepackaged Binaries

Binaries for most chugins in this repository are automatically included by the ChucK installers for Mac OS X and Windows. If you haven't installed ChucK already, these are available at http://chuck.stanford.edu/release/.

Linux/Advanced Users

To compile and install all chugins:

git clone https://github.com/ccrma/chugins.git
cd chugins
make [osx|win32|linux]
sudo make install

List of Current Chugins

• ABSaturator
  • soft clip saturating distortion, based on examples from Abel/Berners' Music 424 course at Stanford.
• Bitcrusher
  • sample-width reducer + sample rate decimator, bringing to mind the sounds of your favorite low-fidelity vintage audio equipment.
• MagicSine
  • Efficient means of computing a sine wave with 2 adds and 2 multiples per sample, at the expense of being able to dynamically adjust phase.
• KasFilter
  • by @Kassen
  • Undersampling-based resonant lowpass filter
• FIR
  • by Perry Cook
  • Arbitrary order FIR filter
• Pan4 / Pan8 / Pan16
  • Basic equal-power panners for 4, 8, and 16 channels
• PitchTrack
  • by @jwmatthys
  • Monophonic autocorrelation pitch tracker, based on [helmholtz~] by Katja, http://www.katjaas.nl/helmholtz/helmholtz.html
• GVerb
  • by @jwmatthys
  • Good quality stereo reverb with adjustable parameters
• Mesh2D
  • by @jwmatthys
  • STK instrument that simulates a rectilinear, 2-dimensional digital waveguide mesh structure. Basically sounds like striking a metal plate.
• Spectacle
  • by @jwmatthys
  • FFT-based spectral delay and EQ
• Elliptic
  • by @jwmatthys
  • Elliptic filter, capable of very steep slopes or interesting harmonic ripples

Chugins That We Are Working On

• MAUI for chuck
• GlucK (OpenGL)
• AudioUnit loader
• Ambisonics

Chugins We would like to see happen

• More configurable reverbs, dynamics processors, and distortion units
• VST loader
