SuperCollider OSX Standalone

Modified from the linux version.

SuperCollider version 3.12.2

Usage

1. Download both the source code and frameworks.zip from the latest release.

2. Navigate to the downloaded folder from the terminal with cd location_path_of_sc-osx-standalone-master.

3. Move frameworks.zip into this directory, unzip it to extract the Frameworks folder, then delete the zip file.

4. Run the standalone with sh run.sh script. You should hear some white noise. This is the default sound as defined in init.scd.

5. To modify init.scd replace the code inside the curly brackets after waitForBoot with your own code:

      s.waitForBoot{
        // your own code here
      };
   

6. Include your extensions in the SCClassLibrary folder.

7. Platypus can be used to convert the script based structure into a "native" OSX application.

• Open Platypus
• Fill in the App name
• Click the Select Script button and choose the run.sh file.
• Drag all the files from the sc_osx_standalone-master to the Bundled Files field.
• Optional: to hide the post window change the interface option from Text Window to None.
• Click Create and choose the location for your app.

FAQ

Q: Where do I put soundfiles and how do i access them?

A: Put your files in the Resources directory. You can then access them using Platform.resourceDir ++ "/path/to/your/file.wav");
