SONIC PI LIVE LOOP example:

live_loop :midi_piano1 do
  note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/1/note_on"
  synth :piano, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0, sustain: 0.05, decay: 0.15, attack: 0.02, release: 0.3

end

##| live_loop :midi_piano2 do
##|   note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/2/note_on"
##|   synth :fm, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0
##| end

##| live_loop :midi_piano3 do
##|   note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/3/note_on"
##|   synth :chiplead, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0
##| end

##| live_loop :midi_piano4 do
##|   note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/4/note_on"
##|   synth :piano, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0
##| end

##| live_loop :midi_piano5 do
##|   note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/5/note_on"
##|   synth :sine, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0
##| end

##| live_loop :midi_piano6 do
##|   note, velocity = sync "/midi/network_session_2/0/6/note_on"
##|   synth :pluck, note: note, amp: velocity / 127.0
##| end

With MIDI messages, there are some theories you need to think:

• what type of MIDI message, is it a simple note_on and note_off?
• velocity (0-127) and notes (Integer)
• which channel

The cool thing with the setup is that you can use Sonic Pi to use all kind of Synth, and with Blender controlling Sonic Pi, you can also make procedural animation, to visualize the MIDI.

I am still studying and exploring this idea with 'Clockmender'.
