All the hard work that was put into optimising Sonic Pi for the original Raspberry Pi makes for an extremely smooth experience on the RPi 2. Also, Sonic Pi was written to take advantage of multiple cores where available which means that all of the 4 cores on the RPi 2 will be used to create dramatic performance increases. For example, playing the example "Time Machine" on a B+ uses around 85-95% CPU but on a RPi 2 it uses just 5-12% CPU. This gives us lots more room for more synths, FX and samples. Fun times ahead!

Core team member Xavier Riley has written a rather nice article about applying some of Euclid's ideas to Sonic Pi to create beautiful rhythmical patterns. This work will be part of v2.4.0 and is extremely joyful to play with.

Our resident Sonic Pi wizard Robin Newman has recently written about his Sonic Pi program which plays the waltzes produced by Mozart's dice throwing game.

Take a look at this wonderfully in-depth article about re-creating Steve Reich's phase music with Sonic Pi.

"An ambient track with the outline of a rocket launch and the entering into the orbit"

"Within 24 hours of playing with the sonic-pi live coding arrangement, I made this. Digging it so far :)"

Live coding music magician @mrtnzlngr getting reading with Sonic Pi!

Organised an music live coding event for colleagues yesterday. Amazing to see how fast @sonic_pi gets picked up by people new to code.

We are proud to have @samaaron with us at Breathing Code 2015: http://t.co/sOGszezUyd #breathing15

Activities this lunchtime included Sonic Pi programming and rehearsals for the inter-house singing competition

Finally, here's a taste of the future of Sonic Pi. This is a live coded performance using Overtone (Sonic Pi's big brother) by Core Team member Joseph Wilk. I personally found it truly inspiring.
