This workshop explores the possibilities of just-in-time programming with SuperCollider to create real-time performances of computer music. We will study flexible, extensible and reliable integration of JITLib-based instruments with a wide variety of controllers. Each day's coding session is followed by a practice session to evaluate the our work in live performance conditions, in solo or ensemble arrangements.
Dates: October 20 - 23
Times: 10:00 - 17:00 each day
Cost: € 150 ( € 130 limited offer for registered students )

Workshop Schedule //
Day 1: Continuous sounds with JITLib - NodeProxy, ProxySpace, Ndef
- quasi analog synthesis
- exploring UGens and combinations
- using effects chains
- storing results as code and sound
- Play !
Day 2: Tasks and patterns with JITLib - Tdef, Pdef, SynthDefs
- writing event based sounds (SynthDefs)
- playing structures in time with controllable parameters
- using patterns as sound sources that can be processed
- storing results as code and sound
- Play !
Day 3: Performances interfaces with JITLib in hard- and software - GUIs, MIDI, HID devices, GamePads, Manta etc.
- attaching controllers to sound processes, tasks, and patterns
- Extension Libraries (Quarks): JITLibExtensions, MIDIKtl, GamePad, Manta,
- BRING YOUR OWN FAVORITE CONTROLLERS!
- - or anything that sends OSC, HID, or MIDI -
- Play !
Day 4: Performance setups - Putting it all together:
- finetune sounds/instruments;
- adapt scalings, ranges, fixed params for playing with controllers;
- ways to switch between different uses of the same controller;
- integrating instruments and controllers into one easy to use and extend setup.
- Play !
