What is a .SC file?
A .SC file is a type of computer file known as a SuperCollider Source Code File. This file contains text that is written in a special programming language created by SuperCollider, which is a software used for making and manipulating sounds. SuperCollider works on Unix and Mac OS X operating systems. The programming language used in .SC files is unique because it combines elements from two other programming languages: it has an object-oriented structure like Smalltalk, which means it organizes code around "objects" or units of data, and it has a syntax, or set of rules for writing code, that is similar to the C programming language, which is known for its efficiency and control.
To open and work with a .SC file, you would use the SuperCollider program. SuperCollider is specifically designed to read and understand the source code contained in these files, allowing users to create, edit, and execute the sound synthesis code written in them. Since .SC files are essentially text files containing code, it's possible that other text editors could open them, but to fully utilize the code for sound synthesis, SuperCollider is the recommended program.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .SC file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
