I discovered the livecoding environment ronin a lisp based environment thats described as a mix of vim and photoshop by it's creators.

Its in a pretty early stage of development and there isn't much documentation yet other than a few examples, but I have played with it for a few hours and I'm pretty impressed by what came out already.

this is the recording of a SonicPi Livecoding session made from 2 sample loops sliced and rearranged in different ways

for the drum sounds I used a drumloop sliced it into 32 peaces each 1% the length of the original loop. Each click is chosen at random from the ring created by the line command.

n = 32
l = 0.01
s =  line(0, 1, steps: n+1).choose
f = [1,s + l].min

sample "drumloop.wav", beat_stretch: 16, start: s, finish: f

The samples are triggered at a given 16th slot with a changeable probability.

the e-piano loop is played back at different speeds chosen from an array using [1,-1,0.5, -0.5, 0.75, -0.75].choose and placed at a random position in the stereofield using a :pan fx

This is a recording of a livecoding jam with the latest developmentversion of sonicPI. I used the new midi functionality to control my Moog Mother 32 and my Makenoise 0-Coast.
