Sonic Pi

My first tune made with Sonic Pi. I finally have a piano! ;)

There is a little bit of jittering, I guess there is some parameter tweaking necessary when using samples and lots of reverb.

Recording of the Sonic-PI livecoding demo given at Retune 2014 conference (slightly extended with extra synth stacks after the conf, but still recorded as another live coding session - no cheating!).

Sonic - Pi - Retune14

Playing around with Sonic Pi, a basic live coding environment. This is a sample of my first attempt.

This was an adaptation of one of the tutorial codes:

define :metro do
use_bpm 30
  cue :tick
  sleep 0.5
end

define :drums do
with_fx :slicer do
  sync :tick
  sample :drum_heavy_kick, rate: 0.75
  sleep 0.5
  sample :drum_bass_hard, rate: 0.3
  sleep 0.5
  sample :drum_cymbal_closed, rate: 0.3, attack: 0.3, release: 0.2
  end
end

define :synths do
with_fx :ixi_techno do
  sync :tick
  use_synth :tb303
  use_synth_defaults amp: 1, mod_range: 15, cutoff: 60, pulse_width: 0.2, attack: 0.03, release: 0.6,   mod_phase: 0.25
  play_pattern_timed chord(:C, :m7), 1, amp: rrand(0.1, 0.8)
  sleep 0.25
  play 38
  end
end

define :bassline do
with_fx :slicer do
sync :tick
sample :bass_thick_c, rate: 0.6, decay: 0.75, amp: 0.75
end
end

in_thread(name: :drums){loop{drums}}
in_thread(name: :synths){loop{synths}}
in_thread(name: :metro){loop{metro}}
in_thread(name: :bassline){loop{bassline}}
