Description of course topics:

 

 

SuperCollider for Beginners

 

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It has a large and growing library of sound synthesis modules and supports structural concepts in composition as well as new approaches to musical design like live coding.

The architecture of SuperCollider is optimized for working in real time and for networking with other softwares and machines via Open Sound Control.

 

SC3 is free and open source, runs under OSX, Linux and Windows.

Binaries as well as sources of SC3 can be downloaded from http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/

 

The participants must bring their own computers with SC installed.

The main platform for the course will be OSX.

In general, Linux or Windows will work as well but you have to install SC by yourself in advance!

In order to run SC under Linux you need to configure emacs as an editor and to install SwingOSC as GUI for SC.

For Windows you need Psycollider and SwingOSC as GUI.

 

 

 

Topics

- basic concepts of SC3:

    server (scsynth) and client (sclang),

    synths and synthdefs (patches)

    nodes and busses
