This software development environment lets you create a wide range of audio applications, from simple synthesizers and effects to complex interactive systems.
SuperCollider
SuperCollider is a Windows program for developing audio apps. It is possible to integrate various effects such as delays, reverbs, distortions and filters into the code. Specialized tools like pitch shifters and vocoders are available as well.
Main functionality
There is support for subtractive, additive, FM and wavetable sound synthesis techniques. Users can imitate real world musical instruments with ease. The integrated powerful sequencing engine is helpful for automating complex chord patterns.
You are able to develop interactive audio workstations that respond to input from external devices in real time. It is possible to capture data from MIDI controllers, sensors and cameras.
Musical compositions
Similar to Soundtrap, SuperCollider can be used to compose complete songs. There are tools for sequencing pre recorded audio files. Alternatively, an option to generate new sounds samples from a physical controller is included.
Users are able to save resulting tracks to the hard drive or upload media files to the cloud for easy sharing. The output bitrate and channel configuration are customizable.
