[Tutor] about real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition

[Paul]

Hi !
I'm a rookie to programming, and just graduated from a conservatory of music last year. I'm interested in real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, I can write a little bit SuperCollider and Django. I just buy a book called "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner" (Chinese version), and try to learn Python via it.

I have a query, Is there have a way (e.g. import some library) to synthesis sound in Python as SuperCollider? (synthesis sound via write some code in a file, and run it will hear the result immediately.)

I'm realy like Python's style, and want to learn Programming from Python. If I can learn it through synthesis sound, I will be very happy. :-) In addition, I think if I can synthesis sound via Python Code, I will have more chance to cooperate with other programer. :-)

Thanks!
Paul Yeh

There are a few options for working with audio in the standard
library - winsound, aifc,wave etc.

The PyGame package also has some audio capabilities.

And finally the Scikit project has some audio packages too.

There is a wiki page on the subject here:

There are python bindings for supercollider. I've never used them.

http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Systems_interfacing_with_SC
lists 3
and I think this is a 4th.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SC/0.2


You can also get it through Blender.
http://blenderscripting.blogspot.se/2014/11/blender-pynodes-and-supercollider-and.html

I've done this. It works.

Best of luck, write back if you have any problems,
Laura

That is one way to do things. The other, more complicated way is to
package your result into a binary file that contains all the things you need
--- which means that they won't have to install SuperCollider because
you already have done this for them. Packaging solutions are different
depending on what operating system you are running, so if you want your
thing to run under windows and Mac OS and Linux you will need to make
at least 3 different versions.

Thank for your helpful replay, I had a rough learning route.
I think I need learn some basics via the book firstly, and try to write some code for sound using the standard library.

I have check the link you send to me, I'm interested in the PyGame package, and I found that the Audio Programming Frameworks seem not very active?
Now, I think I already start to learn Python in right route. :-)

Definitely learning Python is the right first step.
Blender development is very active.
