Sonic Pi

Sonic Pi turns code into playable musical patterns using synthesizers, samples and timed events. Its live-loop workflow supports changing a composition while it runs, making it useful for performance, teaching and algorithmic arrangement. The code editor and sound engine form a self-contained instrument. Learning a few timing and synchronization concepts helps keep more elaborate pieces organized.

Rehearse the complete routing and save a dependable starting configuration. Test controller assignments and recovery from an interrupted audio device before making the software part of a live performance.
