Learn SONIC-PI with Real Code Examples

Optimized for real-time low-latency audio

Heavy loops or many FX can strain CPU

Concurrent live loops allow complex compositions

Audio timing is precise due to internal scheduler

Performance may vary across operating systems

Runs locally, minimal security risk

Be cautious with custom samples or scripts

No network access required for basic usage

Open-source code can be audited

Potential risk if executing untrusted code in OS context

Monitor CPU and memory usage

Check for timing drift in loops

Log notes or events for debugging

Listen for audio glitches during performance

Adjust sleep values to maintain rhythm

Comment live loops and sections

Use meaningful variable names for notes and FX

Organize loops logically for performance

Avoid CPU-heavy FX in nested loops

Test loops incrementally
