Ample samples - Introduction to SuperCollider for monome norns - On-demand


Membership plan: Getting Started | Topics: Sound Design

Course overview

SuperCollider is an amazing open-source audio synthesis and composition tool.

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to use SuperCollider starting from the basics
  • Understand SuperCollider UGens for sample playback and effects
  • Write SuperCollider code that can apply effects to sounds
  • Play SuperCollider samples in a monome norns script

Who is this course for?

  • In this workshop we will focus on sampling and learn how to use SuperCollider to make a fully featured sample player + looper which can be used for triggering drum kits, sequencing partitions, or a chaotic breakbeat style system. We will also learn the basics of applying effects, and finally how to integrate the resulting SuperCollider code into a new script for monome norns.
