SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server.

SuperCollider was written by James McCartney over a period of many years, and is now an open source (GPL) project maintained and developed by various people. It is used by musicians, scientists, and artists working with sound. For some background, see SuperCollider described by Wikipedia.

FEATURES:

· Highly efficient real-time audio synthesis
· Expressive musical pattern system
· Efficient object-oriented programming language implementing features of modern functional languages
· Expressive multichannel support (massive numbers of input / output streams)
· Supports diverse stylistic and technical requirements
· Interacts with other systems using MIDI or Open Sound Control (OSC)
· Essential part of numerous art and science projects
