SC Tutorials - Day 2

My second day of studying IZ’s “A Very Step-By-Step Guide to SuperCollider”. Continuing from last session’s introduction to some basic steps and moving forward to more advance coding including synth, synthdefs, ugens and some synthesis techniques. Not very simple to understand. My music tech and sound engineering background helps me a lot in order to make things clearer.

Here is a list of the subjects covered today.

Playing a function

Stoping all sounds

Viewing sound in a scope

Recording audio output to disk

Synths and UGens

Anatomy of a synth

Storing synth algorithms in synth definitions (synthdefs)

Working with live sound input

Multichannel Expansion

Synthesis Techniques:Generation, Control and Transformation

Day 2 - Pages 25-48

Although in today’s session i have studied various synth examples on SC, things are still blurry to me. Need more work.
