[linux-audio-dev] Does anyone have a working example ofSupercollider and SCUM GUI where slider or a button doesreal-time update on the synth

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Many thanks for the reply!

Actually there is another, very odd reason why my example did not work. Even
if I used your working example, I found out the following odd behavior:

If I have a statement that does:

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, mul: 0.5))

Then it works.



If I have a statement that does:

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq * 100, mul: 0.5))

This also works.


Now if I have:

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq + 100, mul: 0.5))

This doesn't.


Naturally, one could always put something before this statement to fix this,
i.e.:

freq = freq + 100;
Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, mul: 0.5))

But it is still interesting why the multiplication works and addition
doesn't.


Also, I noticed that on one of your SCUM example screenshots you are using
.connect method to connect something, yet I was unable to locate anything of
value in the documentation. I assume that this could be something similar to
the signal-slot idea in Qt and/or other Widget languages (but obviously I
may be completely off the mark), so I was wondering if you could please
provide an example for that? I would really appreciate it!

Finally, while I am on the roll with questions :-), do you mind also
mentioning what's the current status/roadmap of SCUM in terms of supporting
all stock Supercollider widgets, as I noticed that the SCUM widgets use
non-standard names and in addition I am not sure whether all widgets are as
of yet supported, all of which, at least in my experience, makes a number of
sc examples available on the net difficult if not impossible to run in
Linux. Please don't get me wrong, this is not to criticize as I am eternally
grateful for SCUM, I am simply curious as to what is the roadmap for the
project.

Many thanks to all for your help!
