Uses
Sam Aaron, creator of Sonic Pi, demonstrating the program

Thanks to its use of the SuperCollider synthesis engine and accurate timing model,[4] it is also used for live coding and other forms of algorithmic music performance and production, including at algoraves. Its research and development has been supported by Nesta, via the Sonic PI: Live & Coding project.[5]
