Synth, SynthDef, Iteration, Conditionals - Week 3 Fall 2017 MUS 499C - Intro to SuperCollider

This video covers the following topics: • SynthDef and Synth classes, particularly as a formal and flexible alternative to Function-dot-play • Iteration, specifically focusing on 'do' and 'collect' methods • Conditional branching, specifically focusing on the 'if' method • prepending SynthDef arguments with "t_" to create a trigger-type argument, useful for re-triggering envelopes One thing I intended to discuss but forgot -- conditional logic (e.g. "if") within SynthDef functions and on the audio server, and why it doesn't work as expected. I'll discuss and demonstrate this in the next video.
