DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the chuck commands.

       chuck is a new audio  programming  language  for  real-time  synthesis,  composition,  and
       performance, which runs on commodity operating systems.

       chuck  presents  a  new  time-based concurrent programming model, which supports multiple,
       simultaneous, dynamic control rates, and the ability to add, remove, and modify code,  on-
       the-fly, while the program is running, without stopping or restarting.

       Use  chuck  for jack audio interfaces, chuck.alsa to access alsa devices, and chuck.oss to
       access oss devices.
