I started using Sonic Pi a long while back but couldn’t keep focus on learning and left it midway a few times now. However in my latest attempt at learning from the tutorials, I stumbled upon a tb303 loop and it instantly reminded me of this song. So here’s my rendition of it

use_bpm 120
define :my_sound do |n,l|
  use_synth :tb303
  play n , release: 0.4
  play n+16, release: 0.4, amp: 0.8
  sleep l
end

define :my_sound1 do |n,l|
  use_synth :tb303
  play n , release: 0.4
  play n+15, release: 0.4, amp: 0.8
  sleep l
end


define :my_sound2 do |n,l|
  use_synth :tb303
  play n , release: 0.4, amp: 0.55
  play n+15, release: 0.4, amp: 0.55
  sleep l
end


define :my_sound3 do |n,l|
  use_synth :tb303
  play n , release: 0.4, amp: 0.55
  play n+16, release: 0.4, amp: 0.55
  sleep l
end

  end
end

    sample :drum_heavy_kick

    sleep 0.25
    sample :elec_flip, amp: 2
    sleep 0.25
    sample :elec_flip, amp: 2
    sleep 0.25
  end
  
  loop do

    sleep 1
    sample :elec_hi_snare , amp: 2, release: 0.3
    sample :drum_heavy_kick, amp: 3

  sleep 0.25
  sample :elec_flip, amp: 2
  sleep 0.25

I would really appreciate it if someone could write a shorter version of this code or a more efficient version of it.
