Edited by Scott Wilson, David Cottle and Nick Collins, this edition of the essential SuperCollider reference represents a comprehensive update, providing students and professionals with a refreshed and user-friendly guide to the language's design, syntax, and use. This edition covers the basics as well as explorations of intermediate and advanced topics, including microsound, sonification, spatialization, and the cross-platform GUI library.

Highlights include:

  • New chapters on musical notation and score making, machine learning, SC Tweets, alternative editors, non-standard synthesis, and SuperCollider on small computers

  • Technical documentation of writing and implementing your own unit generators

  • Artist statements from a diverse collection of international musicians

  • Code examples to accompany the book, available at https://github.com/supercollider/scbookcode/

The release is available here: https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/releases/tag/Version-3.14.0

This version has a number of changes since SC 3.13. Highlights include:

  • Sclang functions now support collecting arbitrary keyword arguments via { |...args, kwargs| kwargs }
  • The initialization sample of multiple UGens was fixed
  • Documentation can now also be themed like the IDE
  • Due to updated bundled boost libraries on macOS and Windows, FluCoMa UGens which were working under SuperCollider 3.13 are not compatible anymore with 3.14! Go to https://github.com/flucoma/flucoma-sc to check for compatible version.
    • This does not apply to other extensions - e.g. sc3-plugins version 3.13 will still work with SuperCollider 3.14, as the plugin interface was not changed
  • Even though these are not as much of user-facing changes, there were countless structural upgrades: we migrated to Qt6, added and improved tests, updated 3rd-party libraries, updated the build system for most recent build tools, and adapted a new organizational structure for development

A big thank you to all developers for your contributions!
