Combining Nodes in SuperCollider

Creating and Connecting Nodes

Audio buses can be used to connect synth nodes. In this example we will create two nodes - one for generating a sound and one for processing it. First thing is an audio bus:

~aBus = Bus.audio(s,1);

The ~osc node generates a sawtooth signal and the output is routed to the audio bus:

~osc = {arg out=1; Out.ar(out,Saw.ar())}.play;

~osc.set(\out,~aBus.index);

The second node is a simple filter. Its input is set to the index of the audio bus:

~lpf = {arg in=0; Out.ar(0, LPF.ar(In.ar(in),100))}.play;

~lpf.set(\in,~aBus.index);

Moving Nodes

The moveAfter() function is a quick way for moving a node directly after a node specified as the argument. The target node can be either referred to by its node index or by the related name in sclang:

~lpf.moveAfter(~osc)
