Here are some programs and stuff to make using SuperCollider more convenient to use within PD. If you have never used SuperCollider together with PD before, here is a quick start: -Go to supercollider.sf.net and install supercollider. Make sure you get it to work. -Replace the linux/extMain.sc file with the one in this directory. Usually found in /usr/share/supercollider/linux/ or something. The standard distribution of the supercollider language does this crazy thing about shutting down the server. Stop that madness. -Go to the k_sc~ directory and compile up the k_sc~ external. This external automates the jack routing so that you get the jack output from the supercollider server into an object called "sc_in~". There is also an object called "sc_from~" that sends audio signals to the jack input on the supercollider server. -Go to the python directory, and copy the files in there to your python site-packages directory. Usually placed here: /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/ -Change directory to the example directory and try to run the help-sc.pd patch. Make sure you have at least PD v0.37, and the latest version of the pyext external. (Earlier versions than cvs from 22.2.2004 should not be used.) If you have a general questions (compiling it up, error messages), don't ask me directly; ask on the pd-list or on the supercollider list. Enjoy! Kjetil S. Matheussen k.s.matheussen@notam02.no
