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

- modules for synthesis und processing of audio signals:

unit generators (oscillators, noise, filters, delays …),

buffers and sampling

envelopes, triggers, control signals

FFT

- language basics:

objects and messages, classes and methods

functions, arguments and variables

operators

collections (arrays, lists, dictionaries …) and list processing

control structures (if, while, do, switch …)

- generation and organisation of events and sounds:

scheduler and tasks

streams and patterns

scores

recording und non-real-time recording

- synthesis and audio processing examples:

additive synthesis

granular synthesis

delay-based effects

multichannel and spatialization techniques

analysis and intermodulation techniques

presentation of projects and realizations

- control and networking:

Open Sound Control and remote servers

MIDI and HI devices

- other topics:

GUI overview

live coding

extensions
