SuperCollider Live Coding with ClaudeCollider
This skill enables live music synthesis using SuperCollider via the ClaudeCollider MCP server.
Quick Reference
Key Rules
- Drums need
\freq, 48- IMPORTANT Without it, drums sound wrong - Use Pdef for rhythms - Patterns that repeat
- Use Ndef for continuous - Pads, drones, textures
- Symbols not strings -
\kicknot"kick" - Semicolons between statements - No trailing semicolon
- NEVER Synth() inside Ndef - Causes infinite spawning
CC API Reference
The main entry point stored in ~cc. Access subsystems via ~cc.synths, ~cc.fx, ~cc.midi, ~cc.samples, ~cc.recorder, ~cc.state.
CC - Main Class
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
tempo(bpm) | Get/set tempo in BPM |
stop | Stop all Pdefs and Ndefs |
clear | Full reset: free all synths, patterns, effects, samples |
status | Get formatted status string |
reboot(device, numOutputs, onComplete) | Restart the server |
~cc.synths - Synth Definitions
27+ pre-built synths with cc_ prefix.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
list | Comma-separated list of synth names |
describe | Detailed descriptions with params |
play(name, ...args) | One-shot synth playback |
Usage
~cc.synths.play(\cc_kick, \freq, 48, \amp, 0.8);
~cc.fx - Effects System
18 built-in effects with routing, chaining, and sidechaining.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
load(name, slot) | Load effect (slot defaults to fx_<name>) |
set(slot, ...args) | Set effect parameters |
bypass(slot, bool) | Bypass/re-enable effect |
remove(slot) | Remove effect |
route(source, target) | Route Pdef/Ndef to effect |
connect(from, to) | Chain effect output to another effect |
sidechain(name, threshold, ratio, attack, release) | Create sidechain compressor |
routeTrigger(source, sidechainName, passthrough) | Route trigger to sidechain |
routeToOutput(source, channels) | Route to hardware outputs |
list | Available effect names |
describe | Effect descriptions with params |
status | Current effects and routing |
Usage
~cc.fx.load(\reverb);
~cc.fx.route(\bass, \fx_reverb);
~cc.fx.set(\fx_reverb, \mix, 0.5, \room, 0.9);
~cc.midi - MIDI Control
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
listDevices | List available MIDI devices |
connect(device, direction) | Connect device (\in or \out) |
connectAll | Connect all MIDI inputs |
disconnect(direction) | Disconnect (\in, \out, or \all) |
play(synthName, channel, mono, velToAmp, ccMappings) | Play synth via MIDI |
stop | Stop current MIDI synth |
status | Get MIDI status |
Usage
~cc.midi.connectAll;
~cc.midi.play(\lead, nil, false, true, (
1: \cutoff, // CC1 -> cutoff
74: (param: \res, range: [0.1, 0.9]) // CC74 -> res with range
));
~cc.samples - Sample Management
Samples from ~/.claudecollider/samples.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
load(name) | Load sample buffer into memory |
at(name) | Get buffer (nil if not loaded) |
play(name, rate, amp) | One-shot playback |
free(name) | Free buffer |
reload | Rescan directory for new files |
names | Array of sample names |
list | Comma-separated list |
Usage
~cc.samples.load(\kick);
~cc.samples.play(\kick, 1, 0.8);
Pdef(\samp, Pbind(\instrument, \cc_sampler, \buf, ~cc.samples.at(\kick), \dur, 1)).play
~cc.recorder - Audio Recording
Records to ~/.claudecollider/recordings.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
start(filename) | Start recording (auto-names if nil) |
stop | Stop recording, returns path |
status | Recording status |
isRecording | Boolean |
~cc.state - Bus Management
Named control/audio buses stored in current environment.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
bus(name, numChannels, rate) | Get or create bus (also sets ~name) |
setBus(name, value) | Set bus value |
getBus(name) | Get bus by name |
freeBus(name) | Free bus |
clear | Free all buses |
Usage
~cc.state.bus(\cutoff, 1, \control);
~cc.state.setBus(\cutoff, 2000);
Synth(\cc_acid, [\cutoff, ~cutoff.asMap]); // Map bus to param
