I just learned this new case thing thanks to you. Could you give more details on what’s going on with this type of condition ?

Try and see

loop do
  sleep 0.125
  x = [0,0,0,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,3].choose # random value 0-3
  case x
  when 0
    puts x
  when 1
    puts x
  when 2
    puts x
  when 3
    puts x
  end
end

I know that case is not supported by the default syntax of the software. However, I thought about an application of this technique that could be very nice to sequence multiple patterns inside an unique live_loop.
I was expecting this to work but it seems that the loops are not sleeping or syncing correctly:

# TINY TINY MUSIC TRACKER FOR LIVE-CODING ----------
# Used to sequence easily tiny rythmical synth loops

live_loop :tracker do ; tick ; a = 0.125 ; rel = (knit 0.1, 1, 0.3, 1).look ; attack = 0 ; decay = (knit 0.5, 1, 0.2, 1).look
  pat = [1, 0, 0, 1].look
  use_bpm 90
  cutoff = (line 60, 110, steps: 5).reflect.look
  use_synth :dsaw
  use_synth_defaults release: rel, attack: attack, decay: decay, cutoff: cutoff, detune: 0.2
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :eb3, :ab3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  #------------------------
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :g3, :bb3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
  play (ring :c3, :f3).look ; sleep a
end

I was searching to extend this code by adding a second sequence to play.

When using a case on the pat variable, Sonic Pi is raising an error. I think that there must be something special to do with sleep to correct that but I can’t think of a solution right now.

Like that

# TINY TINY MUSIC TRACKER FOR LIVE-CODING ----------
# Used to sequence easily tiny rythmical synth loops

live_loop :tracker do
  sleep 1
  tick
  a = 0.125
  rel = (knit 0.1, 1, 0.3, 1).look
  attack = 0
  decay = (knit 0.5, 1, 0.2, 1).look
  pat = [1, 0, 0, 1].look
  use_bpm 90
  cutoff = (line 60, 110, steps: 5).reflect.look
  use_synth :dsaw
  use_synth_defaults release: rel, attack: attack, decay: decay, cutoff: cutoff, detune: 0.2, amp: 4
  x = [0,0,0,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0].choose # random value 0-2
  puts x
  case x
  when 0
    play (ring :c3, :f3).look

    play (ring :c3, :f3).look
