Sounds, Synths, and Sonic Pi! Oh My!
summary
A hands‑on demo using Sonic Pi and Ruby that actually plays: code snippets that use MIDI notes 0–127, BPM, loops and a variable controlling release and sleep to change rhythms in real time, plus effects like reverb. Several recognizable renditions (James Bond, house, Blinding Lights) run and get applause, code is copy‑pasted then tweaked live, and finished tracks can export to WAV or upload to SoundCloud.
