![]() ![]() It would be good to have some options to embed SC into other projects. Would be nice if this were within nearer grasp. It works but it’s… complex (and possible only because JACK provides Unix commands to connect/disconnect). My live coding setup runs Rack alongside SC, automatically loading a MIDI bridge and patching audio through JACK. Why should SC do a bad job of imitating them?) A plugin bridge would handle a lot of those problems. What if SC clocks could follow a DAW? That would simplify the workflow of creating source elements in SC and editing/mixing in a DAW. For instance, a few weeks ago I was recording MIDI into Reaper. The wish lists of features are at risk of trying to make SC all things to all people – if it becomes too bloated and diluted, then it loses some of its distinctive identity.Ī major weakness in SC now is that it has limited capacity to work with other environments: island unto itself. I guess the one most valuable thing for us to consider is interoperability (going along with that, modularity). To be honest, I don’t have a lot of ideas about that. What will SC4 look like, if you had to predict ? Eventually I’d love to though, and am all the time running into moments where that speed would be helpful, but it isn’t worth while for me yet. I’m pausing on it, the thought of having to learn how to use a slick text editor while learning SuperCollider made me chuckle and also face palm. It seems that, thanks to a lot of hard work by people running parallel to the core development team there is currently the ability to set up in a different editor just fine.Īs some one who in the last couple has tried to set up comfortable environments, first in Atom and then Vim, using those existing plugins, instructions, etc, as someone very much from the GUI world of software, Vim, for me, was just very hard to install with all the plugins, customizations etc. But I think there needs to continue being a cake with the ability to eat it - the IDE in this case - if you want not only new users but also non-power users or experienced programmers, etc. I’m all for progress, and I think the ability to use languages other than SClang with the same amount of control sounds super interesting and might open up a lot of things for a lot of people. The additional overhead of setting up a different text environment that doesn’t automagically just work, that requires a lot of configuration, is an additional hump - often non-trivial - on the learning curve. ![]() Speaking to some comments on this thread, and the overlap with “Some observations” thread, and as a beginner myself – it’s hard enough getting one’s bearings I think. I think having the IDE is such a boon though! ![]()
