Step Sequencer Pattern — Sonic-pi-live Code
Implements a simple step sequencer with two samples.
live_loop :step_seq do
steps = [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
steps.each do |s|
if s == 1
sample :bd_haus
end
sleep 0.25
end
endSonic-pi-live Language Guide
Sonic Pi is a live coding environment designed for creating music through code. It allows users to write Ruby-based scripts that generate real-time audio, enabling both learning and performance in music programming.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Teaching programming through music
- ▸Algorithmic and generative composition
- ▸Live music performance and improvisation
- ▸Interactive sound installations
- ▸Exploring synthesis, effects, and audio experimentation
Notable Features
- ▸Live coding environment with immediate audio feedback
- ▸Built-in synthesizers, samples, and effects
- ▸Concurrency with multiple live threads
- ▸Integration of MIDI and external instruments
- ▸Cross-platform and open-source
Origin & Creator
Created by Sam Aaron at the University of Cambridge, first released in 2012, inspired by the use of live coding for both education and performance.
Industrial Note
Primarily used in education, music performance, workshops, and experimental art; rarely used in mainstream music production but influential in live coding communities.
