15 inch laptop... no numeric enter key... solution?

[mcldx]

@ahadyama69 ctrl+return

In windows the internal and localhost server do not show up. Any advice?

[mcldx]

@Smorphine on windows, that means you probably haven't got the SwingOSC bit installed/running properly. (SwingOSC provides the graphical stuff.) If you can't get that running, you can live without the graphical bits. Just run "s.boot" to boot the server.

Am I doing something wrong? I've copied the text as you have but I get the following message: "• ERROR: Variable 'sinOsc' not defined." I've never used this program before so I'm utterly lost at the moment...

Capital S for SinOsc

How can I change the sound driver??

[spearsounddesign]

On a Mac when he says 'enter', press fn enter (return)

I turn the localhost server on, and type x = {SinOsc.ar(200)}.play, and then Lang > Run to run it, and I get no sound. Very baffled.

@mcldx cheers, was stuck on that one all day. looked through about 20 dell forums but get my answer from youtube!

[MsDadatata]

did anyone else get the output 'nil' when they did this

How do I execute an entire file in SC?

[Smorphine]

@mcldx So I guess I should get this SwingOSC thingy, install it and run the SuperCollider, right? Maybe you can explain what this OSC does.
