#2Aaah, I have been meaning to play around with this program for a few years now, but I never get around to it.
The idea, though, is really, really cool!

Sonic Pi is based on Supercollider for sound synthesis, with a ruby server that controls it, and all of this put in a Qt GUI. Either Supercollider or the Ruby server should be plenty easy to embed

#6Sonic Pi is pretty cool. I really liked Overtone because I like LISPs, so I have chosen Extempore to do my electronic composing [1].
I first started with CM (Common Music), which also has a one-click download for Linux, Mac and Windows. It also has somewhat of an IDE called Grace, "Grace (Graphical Realtime Algorithmic Composition Environment) a drag-and-drop, cross-platform app implemented in JUCE (C++) and S7 Scheme." [2] The birds example is amazing! They build up a very real-sounding bird call from scratch.

#7Prior to my career as a software engineer, I attended RubyConf (2015, San Antonio) and watched a presentation about making music with Sonic Pi. That night, I made this rendition of "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger: https://gist.github.com/thisismitch/be9287c80903cad151fe
It took me way longer than I'd like to admit! Enjoy!
Edit: Here's an MP3 export of it https://soundcloud.com/mitchell-anicas-project/corridors-of-... for easier listening.

Love the Chrono Trigger OST.
Interestingly enough, someone made a remix of this song back in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiy_wuncQ7s
Re: Sonic Pi: Compose electronic music with code
#9i am very excited by the idea to create music by means of programming. but it seems that there isn't even a single project with an active community. supercollider seems to be the most popular with regard to GitHub stats. Sonic pi seems to be the most recent endeavor in this area. but it doesn't offer any deb-packages. compiling for Debian/Ubuntu seems to be not documented.
my impression is that this is coming up every couple of years but nobody so far succeeded at actually producing a system that gains meaningful popularity. not to mention how difficult it was too compile/set up the software for the various projects i have tried.
another problem is that very few YouTube tutorials showcase rythms and melodies going beyond something resembling a ping pong match on speed.
would love to hear your opinion.

There’s Erlang in there as well...
