What if your computer was a musical instrument?
Sam Aaron built one. In Ruby. It's been played at the Royal Albert Hall and from the ISS.

@garpu By the way, did you see what @samaaron did post #SonicPi - he wrote SuperSonic which contains a port of #scsynth to WebAssembly: https://sonic-pi.net/supersonic/demo.html

I'm teaching Sonic Pi in a music tech class, and because we were using the TB-303 synth in class, I felt compelled to modify what we did to make the Charli XCX “365” bassline:

I've been wanting to play around with some variations on Steve Reich's "Clapping": https://youtu.be/lzkOFJMI5i8?si=35fN5rmBjx6cEmCK

I discovered Sonic Pi, which basically lets you write Ruby code to generate music: https://sonic-pi.net/

Turns out I *also* have been meaning to learn some Ruby, so: win-win!

It may seem weird to use Ruby for music programming...but I think it's actually a great idea. Here's some sample code. I love how you can pretty much just read it. (Modulo goofy formatting...)

live_loop :loopr do
sample :loop_compus, rate: [0.5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2].choose unless one_in(10)
sleep 4
end

live_loop :bass do
sample :bass_voxy_c, amp: rrand(0.1, 0.2), rate: [0.5, 0.5, 1, 1,2,4].choose if one_in(4)
use_synth :mod_pulse
use_synth_defaults mod_invert_wave: 1
play :C1, mod_range: 12, amp: rrand(0.5, 1), mod_phase: [0.25, 0.5, 1].choose, release: 1, cutoff: rrand(50, 90)
play :C2, mod_range: [24, 36, 34].choose, amp: 0.35, mod_phase: 0.25, release: 2, cutoff: 60, pulse_width: rand
sleep 1
end

sample manipulation is really good in sonic pi

# guitar_lead.rb
define :guitar_lead do
  4.times do
    sample :guit_e_fifths, beat_stretch: 6
    sleep 1
  end
  sample :guit_e_fifths, beat_stretch: 6, pitch: -2, amp: 1.5
  sleep 1
  sample :guit_e_fifths, beat_stretch: 6, pitch: 2, amp: 1.5
  sleep 1
  sample :guit_e_fifths, beat_stretch: 6, pitch: -4, amp: 1.5
  sleep 1
  sample :guit_e_fifths, beat_stretch: 6, pitch: 2, amp: 1.5
  sleep 1

i kind of imagine this being used to showcase something's afoot on a starship

update: there is a very nice flatpak that solves all of my installation problems with #sonicpi, i have been enjoying myself with the program and writing cool ruby music :neomouse_nerd:

i take back my criticism but will say it would be nice to have sonic pi in more distribution package managers but i get that linux apps are weird to package on every distro
