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.
Most new features added to Sonic Pi have come directly from the adoption of SuperSonic.
Improving SuperSonic now improves Sonic Pi:
- Using JUCE enables live hot swapping the audio hardware
- Integrating Link v4 enables Link Audio
- Integrating MIDI enables MIDI clock support
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...
The reviews for Sonic Pi v5 beta3 are starting to come in:
"I love the supersonic display. Quite mesmerising to watch"
"The additional features are marvellous. They make sense to me as a teacher"
"First impression: Phenomenal! A real joy to play with!"

Dancing to Sonic Pi's Rerezzed example running live on an instant-booting embedded board. No "computer" involved!
For my lovely hw friends, it's an ESP32-S3 dev board running SuperSonic at 16 bit 48kHz. Audio is via i2s to a pico audio board by Pimoroni.
Sonic Pi v5 is almost ready and I'm excited to get it into your hands. If you want to play with it you have two options:
1. Wait until the final free release (hopefully) in July.
2. Become a Patreon supporter and get access to high-quality pre-releases.

This year’s surprise artist: Sam Aaron!

Tonight at #JNation. #LiveCoding#Coimbra@samaaron
Just pushed new Ableton Link v4 support into SuperSonic.
Link offers local-network discovery to sync timing *and* now v4 adds Link Audio which lets any peer stream low-latency audio to any other peer.
This will be integrated into Sonic Pi.
