Pyo VS SuperCollider

I was reminded that there was a guy who wrote a Python wrapper for Csound a long time ago. Apparently it's been superseded by this project, pyo: http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

There is a python module called PYO. This has a wealth of tools for signal processing: filters, Delays, synthesis generators etc. (Look at it here- Http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/). Source: 10 months ago

I created a Python-based modular synthesiser based on Olivier Bélanger's Pyo library. It's essentially another layer on top of Pyo that makes it quicker and easier to create songs. It also makes it super easy to use with other Python libraries. Source: over 1 year ago

The sound is also synthesized with python but not included in the tutorial... I used the pyo library, which is wonderful and ha good docs, but I'm not expert enough to teach it to others. I agree the sound turned out to be really satisfying, which I did not expect. I originally created it because the animations without sound felt wrong. Source: over 2 years ago

It's rendered for binaural audio using the Pyo library. With earbuds, you should be able to tell the approximate position of each bounce (azimuth and maybe elevation) just from the sound. Source: over 2 years ago

Csound is... "interesting". If you want to play with something more modern, have a look at https://supercollider.github.io/ instead. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

For the intrepid, especially those annoyed with the purported input-sluggishness of musescore et al, an interesting text-based alternative is LilyPond https://lilypond.org/ My dad wrote an opera using LilyPond in vim, though I believe these days he's actually doing more with supercollider, which skips sheetmusic and goes right to sounds: https://supercollider.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Weirdly enough,I got into programming through music. I got into making experimental electronic music and ended up learning SuperCollider. Figured I’d have to get a real job at some point and I liked learning Supercollider enough that I figured I should try to go back to school and learn some more useful programming languages.

So you’re wondering what would making music with code look like? The tools I’m familiar with are TidalCycles, Sonic Pi, and SuperCollider. I’m having a hard time describing what it’s like to make music with tools like these so here’s a video of a performance. One person is live coding the music and the other is live coding the visuals. I think it’s super cool how the music is improvised and built over time by... Source: about 1 year ago

I would say no there aren't any sample packs for this kind of stuff because this entire scene developed around using a samplers and sampling as well as some computer tools like Max/Msp, SuperCollider, Recycle, Cool Edit Pro and some other stuff I am quite likely forgetting at the moment. Also you might look at some of the IRCAM stuff too. Source: about 1 year ago
