oh i like, how does this compare to pd and max/msp, apart from the fact that those are visual.

it seems that the overtone guys want to add a visual display in the future. but most comparisions of supercollider and max/msp are mainly focused on the frontend.

is there anything i can do with max that i can't with sc besides looking pretty? (although i do prefer a nice editor to a visual thingie)

I actually thought the screenshots are quite interesting with their scanline glitz, but apparently that's from postprocessing.

Yes, I was thinking it'd be fun to be able to switch Emacs into that mode at times. No doubt it'd drive you crazy if you used it too long though...

I think I've seen an Emacs video using the same "fake old retro" scanline look but I'm not sure how it was made. Could have been postprocessed on the whole video too.

Does anyone know how this effect was achieved?

Anyone interested in this should also check out ChucK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChucK

Thanks for this! Did not know about ChucK.

Since we're plugging stuff we like, ChucK co-author Perry Cook's book, here: http://www.amazon.com/Real-Sound-Synthesis-Interactive-Appli... is an excellent intro to DSP and synthesis techniques.
