SuperCollider Workshop

Workshop given in French and English, please contact us for more information and arrangements.

This workshop aims to give the first tools to write, create and develop simple sound synthesizers within SuperCollider coding environment that is free and open-source. Few hours will be enough to understand the basic concepts and re-use examples that one can find among SuperCollider’s online community. Prior knowledge of programming is not necessary. Each Participant should bring a computer (Linux, MacOS, Windows) with an installation of the software that can be found on the following page: supercollider.github.io/downloads.
