SuperCollider has established itself as probably the most powerful programming environment for real time sound synthesis, algorithmic/generative music and all sorts of other audio-related applications. It is widely used by artists and scientists alike for both research and actual artistic creation. It features a powerful state-of-the-art sound engine and an easy to learn fully featured object oriented language. More, it is open-source and totally free of charge.

Hello !

I am trying to connect a pure data on windows to a mac on modul8
could anyone help me with that...
i couldn't sort out how to connect the mac and the pc through an ethernet cable either just for osc sharing and not really filesharing
i've installed global osc on modul8 aswell and tried udpsend and receive but the mac won't receive on pd maybe because the connection did not occur.

thanks for your help

(hope the topic is not too boring)

does anyone have any resources for building a polyphonic pickup for string instruments ?
those available in the market are really expensive and only works with guitars.

Thanks a lot for your help !

How can i use multiverb~, mindwarp~, or multyq~
can't find it in the extra folder ? is there an extension needed ?
thank you for the reply

true true !!
i 'm just trying to sort out a cheaper way to do it without having to spend more than 100$

i left my email at your website already !!

Thanks a lot!

I don't have any pickups yet i'm looking to build something with piezo mics to individual strings but i haven't sorted out how to do it .
If i understand clearly ...sorry for my noobiness...
It works like this

Midi Guitar pickup ---> Breakout kit ----> 7 input soundcard--->pd

But

can we not just

Midi Guitar pickup--->midi in ---> pd (without the audio of the instrument ?)

or can i do something like

7 diy mics----->Breakout kit ----->midi in ---->pd ?

thanks for your guiding !

i realised that i could get something like Axon AX-50 USB
or stringport
but that costs a lottt!!!
im very poor =(

hey ricky
thanks for your reply but
i still don't get it do i plug the 13DIN cable into midi in ?
I'm using diy piezo on a violin like instrument
what if i need the 7 individual outputs as well as midi control ?
i think i've missed out something.
Thanks for your help

yau

anyway it looks like it is exactly what i need! when can we have a go at it?

Does it mean that you will need a soundcard with several input in order to capture individual piezos? Sorry i'm a total noob ...
