Re: [sc-users] real newbie question

// double click the paren - press enter to execute this block (or, all the code in the parens)

(

SynthDef("tutorial-args", { arg freq = 440, out = 0;

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, 0.2));

}).send(s);

)

// now, place the cursor on the next line, and press enter - do this for each line of code

x = Synth("tutorial-args"); // no args, so default values

y = Synth("tutorial-args", ["freq", 660]); // change freq

z = Synth("tutorial-args", ["freq", 880, "out", 1]);

Hope that helps,

Josh

hi, everyone!

it's been 3 hours that I study SC.
i'm on Intel Mackbook Pro/ OSX 10.4,

in the tutorial, there's this code:

(
    SynthDef("tutorial-args", { arg freq = 440, out = 0;
        Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, 0.2));
    }).send(s);
    )
    x = Synth("tutorial-args");                            // no args, so default values
    y = Synth("tutorial-args", ["freq", 660]);            // change freq
    z = Synth("tutorial-args", ["freq", 880, "out", 1]);

and everytime i try to play this, i get,

• ERROR: Parse error
   in file 'selected text'
   line 6 char 2:
    x• = Synth("tutorial-args");                            // no args, so default values
    y = Synth("tutorial-args", ["freq", 660]);            // change freq
-----------------------------------
• ERROR: Command line parse failed
nil

I don't understand anything about what's going on...
can somebody please tell me what's wrong???
