Great work!

After your last message, I assumed you got it to work.

If you get an “unmatched ‘)’” error, it means that The code you selected is missing some parenthesis.

The part you selected and got to work is a complete chunk. So you are doing it right, there.

It might be a good idea to go through the tutorials for getting familiar with the environment.

when I just select a part of the code:

{
var numVoices = 30;

//generating initial random fundamentals:
var fundamentals = {rrand(200.0, 400.0)}!numVoices;

Mix
({|numTone|

var freq = fundamentals[numTone];
Pan2.ar
(
Saw.ar(freq),
rrand(-0.5, 0.5), //stereo placement of voices
numVoices.reciprocal //scale the amplitude of each voice
)
}!numVoices);
}.play;

it works….its really probably a beginners mistake….don know!

Thanks

Between this (
and this )

Can you post the whole error? It might as well be something else…

when I use this line of code…

{ SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 0.2) }.play;

I put the cursor right behind this symbol ; and push Control + Return on my Windows MacBook and it works….I can hear the sound.

I selected the code (THX Deep Note) between parenthesis and tried it but didn`t work.
Which parenthesis do you mean…this one
(
or that one
{

Thanks for your help

It sounds like a beginner’s mistake. In SC, you need to “select” the code you are intending to run. So select the code between parenthesis and try that way.

Command line parse failed
nil

When just use your Twitter Code by itself – it works, but never stops. Maybe that was intended…don know.

Does anybody know this problem and is willing to help? Maybe its just a beginner’s mistake!?

Thanks
