Learn SONIC-PI with Real Code Examples

Built on Ruby with SuperCollider for sound synthesis

Uses event-driven and multi-threaded design

Live loops are concurrent threads producing sound

Synths and samples handled via SuperCollider engine

Real-time scheduling ensures precise audio timing

Audio output handled by SuperCollider engine

live_loops generate concurrent threads for layered sound

Sleep statements control note timing

FX applied via nested blocks

Scheduling ensures precise low-latency audio

Threaded live loops for concurrency

Functional blocks for effects

Script-based workflow for music creation

State maintained per live loop or variable

Integration with external controllers via OSC or MIDI

Classroom teaching with Raspberry Pi

Live coding concerts and performances

Interactive sound installations

Algorithmic composition projects

Workshops and hackathons for coding and music

Learn programming through music

Immediate auditory feedback

Low barrier to entry with simple syntax

Real-time live coding and improvisation

Open-source and cross-platform

Small: simple loops and beats

Medium: layered loops with FX

Large: multi-threaded live coding performances

Enterprise: educational workshops or interactive installations

Global: online collaborative live coding events

Move `.spi` scripts between machines

Ensure same Sonic Pi version for compatibility

Include any external sample assets

Test timing and FX after migration

Document scripts for clarity
