What is Supercollider? (Have a look at the SuperCollider Homepage)

Supercollider is a programming environment for real-time audio processing.
It is one of the finest and most versatile environments for music processing and especially
for creating music applications of all kinds, complete compositions, interactive performances, installations etc.

Learning Supercollider

Supercollider, doesn't come with a manual. Unlike other software that are usually made to perform specific audio tasks, Supercollider is able to do nearly anything you can imagine...this is why it is difficult to write an official manual that would cover everything Supercollider does. In fact Supercollider is so powerful and flexible that it is difficult to predict what musicians, artists or programmers and yourself will do with it.
