@podsnack.seReposted by @samaaron.bsky.socialIn this week's Kodsnack, Fredrik talks to Sam Aaron about Sonic pi - the tool for learning, coding, and performing music.

@samaaron.bsky.socialYES!
@samaaron.bsky.socialI use my own dictionary substitution using a corpus of common phrases and words in typical Sonic Pi code for compression before encoding it to a URL :-)
@samaaron.bsky.socialWell, all the work I’ve done in the past year - SuperSonic, Sonic Pi v5 and now Sonic Pi on Web is all thanks to AI. It has truly been transformative for me and enabled me to do things I thought were either on the far horizon or otherwise unreachable.
@samaaron.bsky.socialIf your favourite programming consultants are ranting about the transformative potential of AI but aren’t producing incredible awe-inspiring next-level work with it - why are you listening to them? Seriously.
@samaaron.bsky.socialHeaded to Goatmire to spend a full week info-dumping my last year of work with all the incredible Elixir and functional programmers that attend. It’s going to be brilliant yet exhausting.
@samaaron.bsky.socialWhat’s this? A “QR Code Link” you say? Yes, it’s Sonic Pi code encoded into a url that opens ready for you to read, play and edit in Sonic Pi in your browser. Share your live coded tracks with greater ease!

“Hazy detuned pads, slow tape wobble, dusty half-time drums, hiss.”

Sonic Pi now runs in the web browser on your PC, tablet and phone.

@samaaron.bsky.socialSonic Pi now runs in the web!
@samaaron.bsky.socialAwww. Feeling is mutual.
@samaaron.bsky.socialWhat's this? Another screen shot of Sonic Pi v5? Oh no my friend... This is a completely new implementation of Sonic Pi running live in my web browser running on top of SuperSonic. Coming soon to a browser near you...
@samaaron.bsky.socialIt's MIDI-shaped - but it's actually a thin transport-like-shim sending note on/offs as an event list. I'm working on timelines which should give me a good start on host transport and routing is currently simple linear "tracks". Also, CLAP is already supported :-)
@samaaron.bsky.socialA quick demo of Sonic Pi controlling VST plugins. Note that it's not just trigging like a MIDI track, it's also algorithmically controlling the controls (cutoff in this example).
@samaaron.bsky.socialNot sure why but Sonic Pi is on the front page of Hacker News again!
Please join in the discussion in the comments :-)
@samaaron.bsky.socialI currently have a working experimental build of Sonic Pi that has support for VST plugins. My current plan is to release it as Sonic Pi Pro exclusively available to Patreon supporters only. It’s going to be a complete game changer.
@samaaron.bsky.socialI might be working on a completely new audio DSP engine that combines my favourite parts of SuperCollider and Erlang…
@samaaron.bsky.socialI’m really honoured that the School of Computer Science at The University of Sheffield have extended my Visiting Scholar status for a further 3 years. I look forward to deepening the collaboration and continuing my research into expressive programming languages for music & education.
