sae supercollider seminars

2 days seminars in SAE,zannos friend from Berlin, Carle Martin. Martin has built his own library for tuning focusing on ancient greek music tuning. his library is based on quarks (i should look into quarks, start form supercollider sourceforge prj). he is really nice actually.

starting of simple(zannos would be furious by now with the rookies!!!!), i will not mentioned that i actually typed synths, but it is a start as we say. it is so peculiar seeing people asking questions, i ve asked in the past and actually thinking "my god are they stupid?". I am so fucking arrogant, i need to control this. i also need some sushi with Penny...


actually it is getting more and more interesting, i wish it was more days, it would get really interesting with Martin. i should also mention that one of Martin's teacher's was Iannis.



day 2 started with a mention of Iannis from Martin, saying he was the one introduced him to SC, i guess like a lot of people are going to say in the future here in greece.



start talking about the architecture of the software and the audio and control busses.




  1. busses: using busses to write sound to maybe read it back do some processing and then plug it to the 0 or 1 bus to listen to the output.

  2. buffers: buffers are used in order to treat signals taking from inputs, disk etc. they are memory spaces to allow processing of the eveolving signal. they allocate a memory space.


we actually did real time scripting of a Routine that plays files from disk sequentially, which was really instructional, had a look at GUI programming.


there are libraries for image and video through the coreImage API on macintosh for SC, Martin says you can do 3d imges, need to serch further.



users/ms/Libreary/application support/ supercollider: here there are the supercollider extensions
