Using Sonic PI because its awesome

I started playing with Sonic Pi on a MacBook recently. Pretty awesome. After using Audacity to cluck like a chicken into the built in microphone, the stage was set for a masterpiece.

Techno Bok

Amazingly this… noise uses the same bok source sound.

rates = [1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4]
with_fx :echo, mix: 1, phase: 0.75 do
  with_fx :distortion, mix: 0.8 do
    with_fx :reverb do
      with_fx :wobble do
        for rate in rates do
            sample "~/Music/SAMPLEALLTHETHINGS/bokbokbok.wav", rate: rate, amp: 2
          end
          sleep 1
          for rate in rates.last(rates.size*0.8) do
              sample "~/Music/SAMPLEALLTHETHINGS/bokbokbok.wav", rate: rate*2, amp: 2, attack: 0.1
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
