Nice! Near the end you mentioned that all the scale degrees were equally likely, and that usually one would favour some over others, and might even like to bring in some chromatic notes. Have you tried the "weighted" choose? that would allow you to give higher probabilities to favoured scale tones, and add some chromatic notes with very low weight.
I haven't worked with the "choose" method extensively. But I have worked with the weight method under Pattern called Pwrand. Your example would be a good application of that.
Great stuff. Another approach to use instead of having to multiply all the Pseqs with 2. is to simply use Pbind's reserved \stretch argument. Just keep the \dur as it was and add \stretch, 2, to the Pbind. If I'm not mistaken the result should be the same.
Thank you for your videos, quality content. Slowly am getting into SuperCollider and so far it's been pretty exciting! Not on the level to craft much of value yet, but will try to get some kind of composition going soon. Keep up your good work, have a good time of the day!
Thanks a lot SoundEngraver! Great Demo with clear technical info, a direct approach, great insights and very eloquent and elegant explanations. PS. I would also ask for bigger fonts on screen.
Thank you, German Hinojosa! I'm glad this was helpful. Yes, I agree. These older videos include code that is too small. My newer SC videos include code that's much bigger. I may revamp my older tutorials for this very thing.
I would say all of it, though for post production, I would veer toward a standard DAW. I aim to do more live performance with MIDI and sound synthesis this summer. I believe SC was built for sound synthesis, but I wouldn't stop there.
Sound Engraver ok. It’s been a struggle for me to learn. But I see the potential of it and keep coming back. Any more suggestions on learning it in General? I recently bought the book and watch you and Eli a lot. As well as a few others. Any suggestions?
@@brandontaylor6073 I think you're doing what is best, constantly referring to different sources and practicing. SC is an incredibly steep learning curve for me too. I know I have only scratched the surface. Practice SC every day. Don't go too long without looking at it. Things will fall into place. You're doing the right thing.
In the description you mention that it is possible to use this same method without using MIDI instruments. If I were to use this method within a Score, how would I go about doing that?
Hi, Brady! Thanks for watching! When you say Score, do you mean in Logic Pro? I will say I have not used that feature before and would need to troubleshoot.
@@SoundEngraver I mean within the Score class of SuperCollider. I'm wonder if there is a way to use the Scale class you demonstrated in your video for random melodies within SuperCollider but not having to create as a MIDI. I'm interested in processing in non-realtime, so I would like to keep it all self contained if I can. I'm extremely new to SuperCollider, so I really appreciate the help!
@@bradygmoon The Score class isn't something I've looked into, but I'll check that out. If I find something worthwhile, I'll post a video on it. I've been at SC for 7 years, and I'm still feel new to it.
Hello, I am super excited about this series! Thank you so much for doing those. The only thing is that unfortunately the code is too small on the screen. If I zoom in, it looses definition and I am not able to actually see the code properly (would be great to have a link to the source code)...
Thank you, Manuel! Yes, my SC demos have definitely improved over the months. I do apologize for the small print. I'll look into Pastebin to help with that.
Very good content! Pbind also can make use of the \scale, \octave, and \degree keys, instead of using \midinote. I've found this easier personally. Check it out!
Is there a Part 2 yet?, I can't find it! Marvelous explanation, by the way!
Well, thank you! I have a SuperCollider: Composing Methods playlist. Part 2 is the second one down.
@@SoundEngraver Thanks so much, I have no idea why the playlist wasn't displayed the first time I watched part 1, I appreciate it, great work!

Thank you! I'll apply these arguments next time I work with Pattern.
So easy to do a pattern seq. from supercollider into VST in Ableton live / or logic ? Want to learn :)
I'm happy with Logic. But thank you!
@@SoundEngraver sorry meant I trying to work out how to construct a pattern seq to control midi instruments in ableton live or logic
@@darrencurtis4277 Oh excuse me, thanks for clarifying. Have you checked out my SuperCollider Demos on Pattern? I did a handful a couple years ago.
Can you please share which links I can watch and learn thanks :)
Great work and thanks for the explanation.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

@@SoundEngraver I look forward to watching them. Thanks again!
What exactly would guys say supercollider is used for. Actually composing. Just sound experimentation. Or full on audio sound production?
I would say all of it, though for post production, I would veer toward a standard DAW. I aim to do more live performance with MIDI and sound synthesis this summer. I believe SC was built for sound synthesis, but I wouldn't stop there.
