SuperCollider

.cc - week one.

This year I am learning SuperCollider a programming language used for digital audio processing. Learning the language is made difficult by a lack of bona fide support, however, it is possible. Download this file, it contains better formatting: week1.rtf.

// simple maths

(

var oswHa;
oswHa = { |a, b| a + b};
oswHa.value(a: 2, b: 3);

)

// more complicated

(

var swkB;
swkB = { |a, b, c, d, e, f| a + b * c / d - e ** f};
swkB.value(a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4, e: 5, f: 6);

)

// words + words

(

var isdHsd;
isdHsd = { |a, b| a + b};
isdHsd.value(a: "i", b: "am.");

)

//printing many times...

(

var asdioWdks;
asdioWdks = { |a| a.postln; a.postln; a.postln};
asdioWdks.value (a: "10000001");

)

//...using do

(

15.do{arg text; "ice age coming".postln};

)

//variables like...

(

var sjYds = 0;
while ( {sjYds < 10}, { sjYds = sjYds + 1; "negative one".postln });

)

//...or like

(

x = 0;
while ( {x < 10}, { x = x + 1; "positive one".postln });

)
