SuperCollider

We are happy to announce the release of SuperCollider 3.3.1, the environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.

The most important update in 3.3.1 is compatibility with Safari 4, so Mac users can now happily update. There are also some GUI improvements, plus other helpful tweaks (full changelog).

Download from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54622

We are pleased to announce that SuperCollider 3.3 is now released.

Visit the SuperCollider downloads page to get binary or source-code downloads for your platform.

There are many changes since 3.2 (see the changelog for full detail) but here are some headlines:

• GUI system updates: easier syntax, plus a major update of GUI documentation, as well as extra features such as modal sheets, SCLevelIndicator, and menu item manipulation
• New UGens added:
  • BEQSuite filter UGens (popular set of nice-sounding filters)
  • PartConv (efficient frequency-domain convolution)
  • SendReply (sends arrays from server to the language client)
  • VDiskIn (like DiskIn but with variable rate)
  • LFGauss
• Buffer recording/playback UGens used to be limited to 16-channel; now they can handle massively multi-channel audio
• SCImage for manipulating bitmap image objects (mac only)
• LocalBuf framework allows synths to create/free their own “private” buffers, simplifying buffer management in many situations
• Various behind-the-scenes efficiency improvements, for a sleeker audio server that can do more on a given machine

(Note: the Windows build of 3.3 is still in alpha stages and so is not yet a “stable” release… watch this space)

The SuperCollider developers have been working hard since the symposium on finishing the new release of SuperCollider. A release candidate is now available, uploaded on SourceForge - if all looks well with this version, it will be released as the official version 3.3 next week.

Mac UB and source-code bundles are uploaded here:

An alpha version of the new version of SuperCollider (3.3) can now be downloaded as binary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/supercollider.

Thanks to all contributors! Many things have been improved (see ChangeLog), and the GUI documentation reworked. Please let us know if anything does not work as it should.

We’re very happy to announce that you can now download SuperCollider 3.2 for Mac, Linux and Windows!

From Nick’s announcement email:

Many thanks to all who have helped with this process, and in particular I’d like to single out Josh Parmenter for his dedicated work at getting the final builds sorted out.

The devs are happy to announce the official SC3.2:

Thanks to the feedback of SC users plus the efforts of lots of SC developers, we can now announce that the third “release candidate” of SuperCollider 3.2 is now available.

Mac bundle and source-code downloads are available at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54622

The “release candidate” means that the developers consider it appropriate for general release, so we’re putting it out for general use and testing. If no important problems are revealed then this will be the official 3.2 release, the release on which the forthcoming book will be based.

The changelog, showing what’s new, can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/29s6eg
