    Good points -I’ll clarify the LICENSE along those lines when I’m back from a family holiday. I’ll also look to move the recommended web deployment to an isolated-origin model with …

    Yes, SuperSonic (the new internal synth and IO engine) specifically targets embedded devices, so expect some fun announcements in the future!

    SuperSonic started life as an experiment side project and was the first successful AudioWorklet port of scsynth. When I got it working I shared it with the SuperCollider community …

    Thanks for your kind support!

    Fair - the aggregate clause does say “larger program” so I overstated. However, it doesn’t define combination, and “based on the Program” is defined in section 0 via copyright perm…

    > You are going to great lengths to make sure that SuperSonic (and thus scsynth) can be used from non-GPL code Sure because it’s my understanding that using a clearly documented pr…

    Congratulations on you anniversary! I’m so happy to hear that Sonic Pi helps you connect together with music. It makes me smile :-) Thanks also for your kind support.

    Apologies but I’m not the maintainer of the Sonic Pi Flatpak. Instead v5 officially supports AppImage builds.

    Sounds like a possible bug which I’d be only too happy to support you with should you open a github issue. Sorry your experience wasn’t smooth.

    Oh that sounds like the official SuperCollider stance might be that any use of scsynth from an existing project via the network OSC API is considered an aggregate. Is this the case…

    Sorry if it came across as strange. I’m just making sure people don’t confuse the two as SuperSonic isn’t an official SuperCollider project and I don’t want to cause any confusion.…

    Yep, as it’s a derivative work. But I have put effort into making the interface purely network shaped so it’s possible to use it from non-gpl projects without them being considered…

    Not sure if it’s possible to explain this in one sentence - I was just explaining the goals. As a summary - friendly as in better autocomplete, better error messages. There are vas…

    By default there’s a 500ms latency as this gives all target platforms sufficient breathing space for system pauses and other work not to affect the scheduling. Multiple presses spa…

    What do you mean by “running out of scratch space?” Do you mean your code was too long that Sonic Pi refused to run it? If so this has been addressed in v5 with much larger buffer …

    Comment #49247962

    Actually v5 no longer uses SuperCollider’s scsynth engine. I completely replaced it with my own port called SuperSonic - which targets native (used in this Sonic Pi release), WASM …

    If you look in the source code you’ll find an example REPL which serves as a great minimal example of how you can build your own interface. You essentially need to spawn a process,…

    I love the new Link Audio which lets you stream and receive audio on the local network with any other Link Audio capable software such as Ableton Live. I also like the new QuickSta…

    That’s because Sonic Pi was originally built specifically for and in collaboration with Raspberry Pi :-)

    Sonic Pi was originally written for the Raspberry Pi and shipped on their OS for many years - hence the name :-)

    Sonic Pi v5 is released. Sonic Pi is now more friendly, more accessible, more powerful and more fun. There's something to excite everyone - from the friendlier error messages, to t…
