Creative programming workshop with Sonic Pi I found a hands-on tutorial for Sonic pi. Here is how it goes. We already covered some of t he poonts by sequentially going through the documentation. Looping We can loop infinitely by: loop do sleep 0.5 play :d4 sleep 0.5 play :e4 sleep 0.5 play :c4 sleep 0.5Continue reading “Getting hands-on experience with Sonic Pi”

Samples in Sonic Pi
I got this from the official tutorial: https://sonic-pi.net/tutorial#section-3 Triggering Samples This is straightforward, type sample :ambi_lunar_land Setting the amplitude and the pan Just like the synths, we can control these parameters in samples sample :ambi_lunar_land, amp:0.8, pan: -0.3 Stretching samples can be squashed and stretched, even played backwards. Or better yet, squashed or stretched andContinue reading “Samples in Sonic Pi”
Synths in Sonic Pi
This is taken from the official documentation of Sonic Pi: https://sonic-pi.net/tutorial#section-2 Playing around with synths is quite different with Sonic Pi. Activating A note Activating a note ca be as simple ,as typi ng play 60 Changing the number controls the pitch. Controlling amplitude and pan amplitude is the computer’s representation of loudness. It’s aContinue reading “Synths in Sonic Pi”
Sonic Pi and Sam Aaron
First let’s look at this ted talk:: In this talk he raised a very nice question: If you are not considering a career in professional writing, why do you even bother in learning how to read or write? Sam Aaron He eloquently linked this particular question to coding. In The talk he showed how SonicContinue reading “Sonic Pi and Sam Aaron”
The importance of my keyboard (now more than ever)
