Using repeating loops in Sonic Pi
First Electronic Track
It's time to take a step up from nursery rhymes and start making some cool sounding
electronic beats using Sonic Pi. In this project you will create a complete track in the
style of the electronic artists mentioned earlier. Use a new Workspace to try the fol-
lowing exercises and adapt them to create a cool tune.

Using Different Synthesizer Sounds
So far you have used the default Sonic Pi synthesizer sound, called pretty_bell. You can
change the sound by using the
with_synth
command, followed by the name of the
synth (
fm
, in this example) in quotation marks:
with_synth “fm”
