A gorgeous new SC tweet from Frederik Olofsson. Such beauty in less than 140 characters:

play{a=SinOsc;f={|...x|1.5**perform(a,\ar,*x)};Splay ar:({|i|l=perform(a,\ar,f.(i+5/150)<1).abs.round(0.5);y=perform(VarSaw,\ar,1.5**l*(f.(l/155,0,5).ceil*50.05),0,f.(l*f.(l/50))-0.55,max(f.(i+1/500.05)-1,0));y+perform(PitchShift,\ar,y*f.(0.1),0.5,5,0.05,1)}!15)}// #SuperCollider

I’ve gotten as far as Tutorial 7 on Eil Fieldsteel’s excellent YouTube series; loving it so far!

Question on order of operations: is feedback possible using private buses? Or cross-modulated FM operators (aka complex oscillator)? Because it seems like a strict order for “this feeds that” denies such opportunities. I’m sure I’m missing something…

yes, LocalIn and InFeedback both read audio timestamped from this block or an earlier block.

This may be in the posts above (still way behind on my norns reading), but this looks like a great resource:

it works like a dream on Macintosh but i could not get it working on Linux

I’ve been re-reading The SuperCollider Book. I stand by my statement that I think Eli Fieldsteel’s videos are a better introduction, but The Book is a very good next-level resource. My complaints about typos are mainly due to the complete lack of editing on the downloadable code. None of the Microsound chapter examples work due to the use of .memCopy, but the code examples in the printed chapter itself are mostly fine (there’s a wiki with errata online).

Anyway, for really outlandish techniques, this book is an easy recommendation: https://smile.amazon.com/Mapping-Visualization-SuperCollider-Marinos-Koutsomichalis-ebook/dp/B00GX67V5W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1526231943&sr=8-6&keywords=supercollider

This is for the folks who want to do things like generate waveforms using Markov Chains or creating visuals with Cellular Automata. One thing I like is that it dives into a lot of the sc3-plugins collection.

some supercollider content here.

I agree an that book when i bought it from PACKT gave me like 9 chapters of examples

Anyone using suoercollider with modular synth? I have an expert-sleepers es-3 which I use with max. But I think using it with supercollider would definitely bring different results.

Did a bit google research a while ago but couldn’t find much on this topic. Maybe I searched for the wrong keywords.

I would be happy to know a bit about how you use supercollider with your modular. Also some code examples would be nice!

I’d like to try this as well. I would envision using SuperCollider’s pattern library to control a very simple synth that sends out DC control voltages. Shouldn’t be too hard.

This might help, if you haven’t read it:

There is a more musical example using the same technique here: https://youtu.be/HhB_t4gtI74 and you can also use Ndef to great effect. Blog post about that here: http://blog.carltesta.net/post/51941723555/some-very-low-key-live-coding-with-the-modular

Why are you using K2A.ar on UGENS that are already audio rate?

#139

Eh, it’s old code. Didn’t know that much :wink: I was probably doing something with actual control rate ugens earlier in that session and then changed to audio rate. Feel free to get rid of those.

I’ve been having so much fun with AUv3 plugins on iOS. Such an immediate and tactile environment. I find myself going there before using any other tools at my disposal because of the immediacy. It’s got me thinking about how to leverage open source audio programming resources to build new AUv3 plugins. Libpd is an obvious choice but I’ve generally found that I get better results more efficiently in Supercollider than with Pd.

Long preamble to: I wonder if this could be made to work on iOS?

Edit: hmm, or this…

If you are thinking about diving into developing specific ideas on iOS (easier) as opposed to getting a general environment like supercollider running (much harder I’d imagine) then it might be worth checking out AudioKit.

Yes of course, and you’re right about “specific ideas” (which is my goal). But I’d prefer to be able to make use of existing code. We are about to see a lot more Supercollider-based innovation in the very near future. Rewrites and ports are always possible, but being able to directly use Supercollider seems like a potentially useful thing.

#143

I guess I should start with libpd and use it as an example of how to glue a library of that nature to the iOS development environment, then point that knowledge at the Supercollider AU repos above and correct any problems I assume must be lurking (due to the youth of those repos).

#144

SC AU wrapper is ancient in SC years though. (that repo is 8 years old, and the wrapper itself is probably older than github.)

haven’t tried it in ages but i remember it being a little fiddly but basically functional. it’s not the same as making stuff in sclang though - IIRC, the audiounit can host a single synthdef with its inputs broken out.

#145

That’s totally fine for my immediate purposes (just want to compile some effects I can drop into AUM).

Working my way through linker errors right now, hopefully I’ll have a working build in a few minutes…

EDIT: by “youthful” I guess I really meant, “not obviously widely adopted” (especially relative to libpd)
