Sonic Pi - BEAM Up The VJ!
summary
Sonic Pi is a code-first music environment that adds real concurrency via live loops, does feature detection to treat drum breaks as arrays with onset-based sample indexing, and schedules audio through SuperCollider using OSC timestamps to avoid jitter. It ships MIDI, a local Git commit per Run for versioning, embeds a browser to drive Hydra GLSL visuals in sync, and can jam across networks with Ableton Link—currently interoperable with 235 Link-enabled apps for synchronized performance.
