A minor mode to send code to Sonic Pi from an Emacs buffer (so that you can live code in Emacs).
- Sonic Pi 4.x. This mode won't work with Sonic Pi 2 or 3.x (but sonic-pi.el, the package on which this one is based, will)
- The
oscEmacs package. Not sure which version is required 🙄
I might consider to submit this package to MELPA, but for now you have to install it from this repository, in the way your package manager allows it. If you need to do it manually, clone this repo and add this to your init.el:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/<your-local-copy>")
(require 'sonic-pi-mode)M-x sonic-pi-mode to enable the following commands (with a default keybinding):
| Keybinding | Command | |
|---|---|---|
| C-c , c | sonic-pi-connect |
Starts the Sonic Pi daemon on the background and connects to it. |
| C-c , r | sonic-pi-send-buffer |
Sends the contents of the current buffer to the running Sonic Pi (equivalent to Alt+S on Sonic Pi). |
| C-c , s | sonic-pi-stop |
Sends a stop-all-jobs command to the running Sonic Pi (equivalent to Alt+S on Sonic Pi) |
| C-c , v | sonic-pi-control-volume |
Opens a menu to control Sonic Pi volume. |
| C-c , d | sonic-pi-disconnect |
Closes the current connection to Sonic Pi |
To use a different prefix than C-c ,, assign a different key binding to sonic-pi-mode-prefix-map.
You have to set the sonic-pi-daemon-command variable, with the path to the ruby file of the daemon. On a standard Sonic Pi install, it should be:
(setq sonic-pi-daemon-command "<path-to-sonic-pi>/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb")If you installed Sonic Pi via Flatpak, it's a bit more complicated:
(setq sonic-pi-daemon-command "flatpak run --command=\"/app/app/server/ruby/bin/daemon.rb\" net.sonic_pi.SonicPi")This work is based on Joseph Wilk's original sonic-pi.el, and particularly the logging code (the messages window) is directly taken from it. Thank you!
