So todays first @CodeClub summer session at #Malvern library used @Sonic_Pi (and the web based version too) to tie in with this year's #SummeReadingChallenge, Read to the Beat. A session full of creativity, enthusiasm and sound 🎶

Attending the @craigndave1 #FestivalOfComputing26 with @CodeClub sharing my enthusiasm for code and creativity with the attendees. Thought I'd bring the web-based @Sonic_Pi Tau with me this year to show how people can express their musical creativity through code.

How cool! You can use @Sonic_Pi and @intellijidea internal APIs to get adaptive music while you code. The music then reacts to how dangerous the method you're editing is.
No danger? Cool, calm and collected music.
A lot of danger? Pure chaos and stress!

Sonic Pi now supports game controllers.
Connect a spare Xbox controller just like a MIDI controller and jam away.
Use your finely honed Fortnite skills to express yourself through music!
Available next week as an exclusive pre-release for Patreon supporters in v5 Beta 4.

What if the first thing you built with code was music instead of a TODO app?
@samaaron joins James Lewis to talk about Sonic Pi and a surprisingly simple idea:
People learn differently when coding feels creative.

Sonic Pi now has the ability to sync bpm with external MIDI clocks.
Up to 8 simultaneous MIDI clocks are supported - so you could drive multiple threads at different BPMs simultaneously via different clocks.
Coming in v5 Beta 4 in a week or so...

I'm making good progress integrating @Ableton Link Audio streams into @Sonic_Pi.
Now you can receive link streams in addition to sending the main stereo out.
I think this is a really powerful feature - especially if we see wider adoption of Link Audio in other audio software.
ALT An example of a working design of Sonic Pi's Link config panel. It shows the ability to change link name, the audio stream latency, to enable, disable it, change its network visibility and it gives you a list of visible peers. All on top of the existing Link buttons in Sonic Pi.

Sonic Pi's tectonic plates have shifted as the original SuperCollider scsynth is now replaced with SuperSonic.
This brings the ability to switch audio devices without having to restart.
After almost a year of hard work... delayed gratification FTW!
