multi-synth-execute
Runs several SynthDefs at the same time, taking a list of synths and a duration.
LABSCO SUMMARY
A sound described in a sentence is audible in the same turn.
synth-execute closes the whole loop — SynthDef code generated, code executed, sound produced — and multi-synth-execute repeats it across a list of synths playing at once. Both take a duration, so playback is bounded by the call rather than left running. Neither records nor saves what plays, so anything you want to keep has to be captured outside the server.
What it is
An audio server that generates SynthDef code and executes it, so a described sound is played rather than printed.
What you get
- synth-execute generates SynthDef code, runs it and plays the resulting sound for a given duration.
- multi-synth-execute runs several SynthDefs at the same time, taking a list of synths and a duration.
Requirements
No account or key, but SuperCollider itself has to be installed on the machine, along with Node.js and npm. The tools compile and run SynthDef code there, and the sound comes out there. The author has confirmed it only on macOS with Apple Silicon.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @makotyo/mcp-supercollider
USE CASES
01
Hearing a synth idea before committing it to a patch
Describe the sound, have the SynthDef written and executed, and judge it by ear for the duration you set.
02
Checking how several voices sit together
Run a set of SynthDefs simultaneously for a fixed duration to hear the layers against each other rather than one after another.
2 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
synth-execute

CONTEXT COST
Light Standing cost
Rated by the size of the 2 tool definitions that ride along on every turn, not by how many there are
