What is SuperCollider?

SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. It consists of:

  • scsynth, a real-time audio server with hundreds of unit generators ("UGens") for audio analysis, synthesis, and processing
  • supernova, an alternative server to scsynth with support for parallel DSP on multi-core processors
  • sclang, an interpreted programming language that controls the servers
  • scide, an editing environment for sclang with an integrated help system

sclang comes with its own package manager, called Quarks. scsynth and supernova both support third-party plugins via C and C++ APIs.

SuperCollider is written in C++17 using several third-party libraries, including Qt and Boost. It can be used on Windows, macOS, a variety of Linux and BSD distributions, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black.
