The Fixed Score Versus The Indeterminate Score
11In this demonstration, we explore how to score for both fixed and indeterminate music in SuperCollider. Utilizing the class Pattern and its subclass Pbindef, I set a fixed sequence of MIDI note numbers and an indeterminate sequence of all degrees in the C natural minor scale.
In my experience, it is more intuitive to use SuperCollider for indeterminate music. Composing even a simple melody, harmony, and bass line may take up to several hours, due to transposing MIDI note numbers in semitone relationships (e.g. 60, for middle C, 63, for E-flat, 67, for G, etc.).
On the whole, SC is excellent for outputting neat, random things!
