Chapter 7. Building Beats with Sonic Pi

In this chapter, we're going to use a new application called Sonic Pi to create music using code. We will see how it's possible to create tunes and how the power of programming allows us to experiment and change things much more easily than we can with physical instruments.

This chapter is centered on sound, so you will need some speakers or headphones that can plug into the Raspberry Pi's audio port, or an HDMI monitor with built-in speakers.
