using sc

[ghost]

hello,
i have supercollider 3.6 and python 2.7 and i want to use sc to code supercollider from python.
In your tutorial you have said the the supercollider code should be compiled in the supercollider synthdefs folder. How should i do this?

Greetings

hi

say you have a synthdef like this in Supercollider, if you do .store and evaluate the synth definition, Supercollider will compile a file called test.scsyndef in ~/.local/share/SuperCollider (I am on linux, I am not sure where they go in OSX but you could search for the test.scsyndef file)

SynthDef(\test, { arg freq=300, amp=0.5;
var out = SinOsc.ar(freq) !2;
Out.ar(0, out * amp);
}).store;

then from Python you have to load that test.scsyndef file to the server. I dont remember the syntax because I have not used this for long time but it should be in the documentation

best
