Chapter 1. Scoping, Plotting, and Metering
Visualizing audio signals and numerical datasets can be very straightforward in SuperCollider with the built-in scoping, plotting, and metering functionalities. The corresponding GUI objects are simple to use, yet they are highly customizable and extremely powerful. In this chapter we will introduce a series of fundamental techniques, and learn how to design both basic as well as more advanced custom visualizers. However, it should be noted that all the examples herein assume normalized datasets and test signals, deferring the complexities of data mapping and signal optimization to be discussed in depth in subsequent chapters.
The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Plotting audio, numerical datasets, and functions
- Scoping waveforms and spectra
- Metering signals and data
- Nonstandard and complex visualizers
