Sonic Pi Tips

Sonic Pi is a code-based music creation and live performance tool.

It is free and open-source software (FOSS).

Versions of Sonic Pi are available for Windows (10 and 11), MacOS (both Intel and Apple Silicon), and Raspberry PI OS.

It can be used by anyone, "including programmers who don't know music, and musicians who don't know programming."

Sam Aaron developed the program in collaboration with Raspberry Pi Foundation.
