NAME

       scsynth - SuperCollider audio synthesis server

SYNOPSIS

       scsynth [options]

DESCRIPTION

       SuperCollider  is  a  real  time  audio	synthesis programming language.  This manual page documents briefly the scsynth command, the audio
       server of SuperCollider.

       SuperCollider has documentation in the HTML format available in the supercollider-doc package.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below. There must be a -u and/or a -t option, or -N for nonrealtime.

       -u <udp-port-number>
	      a port number (0-65535)

       -t <tcp-port-number>
	      a port number (0-65535)

       -c <number-of-control-bus-channels>
	      default 4096

       -a <number-of-audio-bus-channels>
	      default 128

       -i <number-of-input-bus-channels>
	      default 2

       -o <number-of-output-bus-channels>
	      default 2

       -z <block-size>
	      default 64

       -Z <hardware-buffer-size>
	      default 0

       -S <hardware-sample-rate>
	      default 0

       -b <number-of-sample-buffers>
	      default 1024

       -n <max-number-of-nodes>
	      default 1024

       -d <max-number-of-synth-defs>
	      default 1024

       -m <real-time-memory-size>
	      default 8192

       -w <number-of-wire-buffers>
	      default 64

       -r <number-of-random-seeds>
	      default 64

       -D <load synthdefs? 1 or 0>
	      default 1

       -R <publish to Rendezvous? 1 or 0>
	      default 1

       -l <max-logins>
	      default 64
	      maximum number of named return addresses stored
	      also maximum number of tcp connections accepted

       -p <session-password>
	      When using TCP, the session password must be the first command sent.  The default is no password.  UDP  ports  never  require  pass-
	      words, so for security use TCP.

       -N <cmd-filename> <input-filename> <output-filename> <sample-rate> <header-format> <sample-format>

       -L     enable memory locking

       -H <hardware-device-name>

       -v <verbosity>
	      0 is normal behaviour
	      -1 suppresses informational messages
	      -2 suppresses informational and many error messages

       -U <ugen-plugins-path>
	      a colon-separated list of paths
	      If -U is specified, the standard paths are NOT searched for plugins.

       -P <restricted-path>
	      If specified, prevents file-accessing OSC commands from accessing files outside <restricted-path>.

TO QUIT

       To quit, send a 'quit' command via UDP or TCP, or press ctrl-C.
