Questions tagged [supercollider]

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server.

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language originally released in 1996 by James McCartney for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.

Since then it has been evolving into a system used and further developed by both scientists and artists working with sound. It is an efficient and expressive dynamic programming language which makes it an interesting framework for acoustic research, algorithmic music and interactive programming.

Supercollider- SynthDef equivalent of using 2 different synths

If you have a function definition: { SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 0.2) }.play; The equivalent is: SynthDef.new("SinOsc", { Out.ar(0, SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 0.2)) }).play; for stereo, you simply say: SynthDef.new("SinOsc", { Out.ar([0,1], SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 0.2))…

SuperCollider -- Synthdef with mix of variable amount of SinOsc's

This code returns an error, but it works if I remove "arg" from line 4. What can I do to make n an argument and not get an error? ( SynthDef("test", { arg n=8; f=Mix.fill(n, { arg index; var freq,…

SuperCollider patterns library: how to get a reference to the synths' nodeIDs?

Patterns library question: How can I get a reference to the Synth that is created by a Pbind? For instance, Pbind( \type, myCustomSynthDef, \midinote, Pseq([60, 62, 64], inf), \dur, 0.5 ).play gets me a repeating do-re-mi sequence. If I'd like to…

Overtone without SuperCollider

I want to use Overtone purely for purposes of sending data to midi instruments. Is there a quick way to load Overtone without SuperCollider support? I figured out that midi support can be added to a program by using overtone.studio.midi, but I'm…

What is the simplest way to play a sample/tone with given tempo in SuperCollider

I'm curious what is the easiest way to play a sound file or some frequency with given tempo. The easiest metronome you can implement. Any ideas?

Mapping in SuperCollider

I am trying to map amplitude to a synth using a bus in order to smooth out the sine wave (remove high frequencies) based off of semi-random inputs from an outside source, but when I run this code, there is no sound. s.boot; ( SynthDef( \cello,…

SuperCollider: RecordNRT renders wrong duration

I want to render a sound sequence using RecordNRT. It already works, but the duration of the rendered file is too short. var p; [\BPM, MasterSequencer.instance.globalBPM].postln; [\BARS, this.bars].postln; this.sequenceDuration =…

Why is this interpreter variable not understood?

I'm trying to loosely-couple OSC message bindings to the function that handles them: f = {|msg| msg.postln}; OSCFunc({|msg, time, addr, recvPort| f(msg)}, '/2/push1') I thought this was pretty straightforward. I could substitute f at any point, and…

Why doesn't Synth.new understand about scales?

I can set a scale like this: ~pp = Scale.phrygian(\pythagorean); I can then create a Pbind which plays the scale like this: ( Pbind( *[ instrument: \default, scale: ~pp, degree: Pseq([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], inf), …

Difference between "type", "instance", "class" and "object" concepts

I am trying to understand the concept of classes and objects, and I came across to the words "type" and "instance". Does type mean exactly the same thing as class, and instance for object? Or is there a difference in between, such as a usage…

SuperCollider without OSC

I have used PD in the past, but right now I'd like to try using SuperCollider for this one project. Specifically, I'd like to research control protocol and try swapping OSC for CoAP. I'm trying to figure how deeply scsynth depends on OSC? Is there…

Can I send values in a Pbind that are interpreted like midinote or degree?

I'm not sure whether SuperCollider can deliver moons on sticks, but I'd really like to be able to specify values in my Pbind that are interpreted in the same way as midinote or degree: i.e. converted automatically to a frequency. So, an excerpt of…

How do I stop a Pmono?

I read through the documentation of Pmono and must have read it wrong. From the following I inferred that the node Pmono creates would be deleted after the Pmono finishes: "This node is created when entering a Pmono, and released when the Pmono…
