Real time audio synthesis programming language

SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis. You can write programs to generate or process sound in real time or non real time. SuperCollider can be controlled by MIDI, the mouse, Wacom graphics tablet, and over a network via Open Sound Control. SuperCollider can read and write sound files in AIFF, WAV, Sound Designer 2, and NeXT/Sun formats.

    write Supercollider v 3.4 Jul 17, 2010 MacOS X UB
    SuperCollider v3.4, released 2010-07

    Headlines:
  • ---------

  • * 2009-09-03 add support for Mac OS 10.5 and greater 64-bit builds of plugins and scsynth
    * 2009-07-xx iphone support by Axel Balley added - ab
    * 2009-07-21 EnvirGui added, a gui for livecoding/editing environments - adc
    * 2009-07-24 Server.plotTree method for visualising the groups and synths on the server - sw
    * 2009-07-31 mac osx text-completion feature now includes sclang objects - ds
    * 2009-08-01 sclang now has a flag (Platform.ideName) for which IDE is in use (scapp, scvim, scel, sced, jsceclipse...) so that the same class-library can be used with different IDEs, enabling IDE-specific code as necessary - ds
    * 2009-08-16 add emergency escape route: if sclang is caught in an infinite loop, send it a USR1 signal to break out of it - ds
    * 2009-09-12 String:findRegexp and other regular expressions now available on linux as well as mac - mb,ds
    * 2009-09-18 n_order and Server:reorder allow one to specify chains of nodes - sw
    * 2009-09-20 simplify the Server recording interface. prepareForRecord is now optional (will be automatically invoked if you don't), and the server gui button is now just two-state "record" "stop" - ds
    * 2009-10-04 support multichannel indices for Env:at - jr
    * 2009-10-29 improve OSC message correctness: for convenience, sclang allows command names as symbols with no leading slash e.g. \g_new. To improve compliance with the OSC standard, the leading slash is now added to those symbols before dispatch - ds
    * 2009-11-07 use nova-simd framework for performance improvements of unit generators - tb
    * 2009-11-21 Event type \note supports polyphonic sustain, lag and timingOffset, and responds correctly to free and release. Add \grain event type. - jr
    * 2009-11-28 windows: system "application support path", previously hardcoded as C:\SuperCollider, now settable by environment variable SC_SYSAPPSUP_PATH. Default setting for that env var (when using official wix bundle) will be [SC3INSTALLLOCATION] - ds
    * 2009-12-15 sclang: 64-bit safety - tb
    * 2009-12-15 sclang: performance improvement of math ops - tb
    * 2010-01-02 scsynth: use osc-compilant address patterns for server/lang communication - tb
    * 2010-01-24 add readline interface to sclang command-line. This is used by default when invoking "sclang" (to use the non-readline interface set the "-i" option to something other than "none") - ds
    * 2010-01-24 enable GPL3 code by default - this 'upgrades' the overall binary license from GPL2+ to GPL3+, and allows supercollider to benefit from GPL3+ libraries such as libsimdmath and gnu readline - ds
    * 2010-02-04 Improvements to SC.app editor: Split pane documents, AutoInOutdent - sw
    * 2010-02-18 scvim: now compatible with gnu screen, opens post window using screen, making it compatible with a pure-CLI environment - ds
    * 2010-02-xx add the Deployment32-64 build style for building on OS X (10.5 and greater) - jp
    * 2010-03-10 SynthDef:memStore deprecated in favour of the more coherent and typeable SynthDef:add - jr
    * 2010-04-11 Moved some more experimental JITLib classes to "JITLib extensions" Quark - jr

    * 2009-07-28 catch unintialised value in sc_GetUserHomeDirectory(), fixing potential memory corruption if HOME not set - ds
    * 2009-08-01 SpecCentroid, fix its reaction to silence (output zero instead of NaN) - ds
    * 2009-08-01 NamedControl: single default value now returns instance, not array, default values are obtained in a consistent way - jr
    * 2009-08-04 fix the CPU-usage issue when calling plain "./sclang" from the terminal on OSX (seems it was caused by a bug in how OSX handles poll() calls) - ds
    * 2009-08-15 LinPan2: fix initialisation issue - panning was not correctly applied during the first calc block - ds
    * 2009-09-28 Workaround for faded colours in HTML docs - sw

    * 2009-10-17 many phase-vocoder (PV_) ugens previously didn't handle the DC/nyquist bins as expected. fixed most of these (PV_MagAbove, PV_MagBelow, PV_MagClip, PV_LocalMax, PV_BrickWall, PV_MagSquared, PV_BinWipe, PV_CopyPhase, PV_Max, PV_RandComb) - ds
    * 2009-11-01 fix audio rate arg problem in PlayBuf - jp
    * 2009-11-02 fix amplitude-convergence issue in Pan2, Balance2, LinPan2, XFade2, which could sometimes result in sound despite zero amp, as discovered by jh - ds
    * 2009-11-03 fix unsafe implementation of methods that allow sending collections to buffers - jr
