I want to add sound to my sketches, but with live synthesis for example changing an oscillator pitch based on the speed of some shape and such. I’ve already tried the Sound library but my system doesn’t do well runnig it, I get very slow sample rate.

I’ve heard about _Pure Data_, _Supercollider_, and also _Beads_ library but I’m not sure which one works well and I’ve looked at _Supercollider_’s website and it doesn’t look nearly as beginner-friendly as Processing.

I thought maybe there are better options or maybe there’s a way to fix the Sound library or something.

Take a look at pd4p3 from Robert Esler.

Comes with some very nice example sketches and his YouTube channel has good introductory videos
