SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. It consists of:
sclang comes with its own package manager, called Quarks. scsynth and supernova both support third-party plugins via C and C++ APIs.
SuperCollider is written in C++17 using several third-party libraries, including Qt and Boost. It can be used on Windows, macOS, a variety of Linux and BSD distributions, Raspberry Pi, and the Bela platform.
The online documentation of the development version is available via dev.docs.supercollider.online.
macOS and Windows builds for stable releases are provided at our downloads page. See the macOS README and Windows README for instructions on usage, and how to build SC yourself.
To get the latest stable version, Linux users will need to build SuperCollider themselves. See the Linux README for instructions.
See the Raspberry Pi and Bela READMEs for instructions on building on those platforms.
SuperCollider is tested with:
SuperCollider is known to support these platforms:
SuperCollider has guaranteed support for:
There is still limited support for Qt 5.15. Further details are described in README_MACOS.md.
For more information on platform support guarantees, see the project Wiki.
