Includes bibliographical references and index.. - Fundamentals. Core programming concepts ; Essentials of making sound -- Creative techniques. Synthesis ; Sampling ; Sequencing ; Signal processing ; External control ; Graphical user interfaces -- Large-scale projects. Considerations for large-scale projects ; An event-based structure ; A state-based structure ; Live coding.. - "In SuperCollider for the Creative Musician: A Practical Guide, Eli Fieldsteel condenses fifteen years of professional experience with music composition, sound design, and audio programming into a comprehensive and approachable tutorial that guides the reader through the process of creating complete musical compositions in SuperCollider, a free and open-source programming language for sound synthesis and algorithmic composition. Written with both beginner and intermediate users in mind, the book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals, covers a wide range of creative techniques, and concludes with detailed strategies for assembling, navigating, and performing musical compositions, enabling the reader to confidently make the transition from scattered code snippets to large-scale creative works. Topics include waveform synthesis, sampling, granular synthesis, sequencing, signal processing, external control, graphical user interfaces, code structures for linear and nonlinear compositions, and live coding. The book is further augmented by an extensive collection of downloadable code examples hosted on a companion website, intended to clarify chapter topics in greater detail and provide opportunities for immediate hands-on learning and experimentation. SuperCollider for the Creative Musician: A Practical Guide is an essential resource for students, composers, and practitioners who fall anywhere on the spectrum between musician and programmer, for teachers looking to incorporate audio coding into the music classroom, or for anyone excited about using code to create innovative musical projects"--
