As far as I could see when I experimented with it, SuperCollider is excellent for creating sounds, but isn’t too good at sequencing these sounds into music. It can do it, but its sequencing support seemed verbose, inflexible and poorly integrated into the rest of the language. I assume this is why numerous other languages have been built on top of SuperCollider with a specific focus on sequencing (TidalCycles, Sonic Pi etc.).
- spacechild1 5y agoI guess it depends on what you want to do. For typical Algorave-style music, I would agree that sclang doesn't offer the right set of high-level abstractions. However, it's possible to implement live coding dialects on top of sclang, e.g.: https://github.com/jamshark70/ddwChucklib-livecode https://github.com/jamshark70/ddwChucklib-livecode
