hi there, new to in_thread. happy to be here. I am a developer and musician. I am working to integrating both focusing on latino sounds.
I have also been testing CHAT GPT and Sonic Pi to see what develops. Nice to meet y’all.

Hiya!
I have been really interested in making some dirty synth cumbia. I’ll keep my eyes out for what you’ve created - I’m working towards better understanding drums to be able to get the rhythms right! haha.
Buena suerteeee

that is whats up. 
I have started reading through the resources page: Sonic Pi Online Resources. once i get a better understanding of the syntax, i will share my code. OPEN SOURCE 4EVA.
if you are interested – i did ask chatGPT this:
using python package Sonic Pi create a beat.
i wanted to preview results before using Sonic Pi and then once I understand go make edits, a before and after.
Here is the github repo: GitHub - panchaX3000/sonic_pi_beatz: experimenting with Sonic Pi to create music through Live Code
Are these working for you?
I’m not sure if you have a py module that makes this all work, but running it in spi itself it’s broken & polishing up the code a bit… I mean I’d maybe call this some slightly interesting punchis punchis but…
I took out the first few lines as they’re straight python (i.e. import * from…)
# Set the tempo and key
use_bpm(120)
# Define the bassline
bassline = [ :G2, :D2, :F2, :C2 ].ring
# Define the chord progression
chords = [ :G2, :B2, :D3, :F3 ]
# Define the rhythm
rhythm = (ring 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 2, 3)
# Play the bassline and chords
in_thread do
loop do
play bassline.tick, release: 0.1, amp: 0.5
sleep 0.25
end
end
in_thread do
loop do
play_chord chords, release: 0.3, amp: 0.3
sleep 1
end
end
# Play the percussion
in_thread do
loop do
sample :drum_cymbal_closed, amp: 0.5
sleep 0.5
end
end
in_thread do
loop do
sample :bd_tek, amp: 2
sleep rhythm.tick
end
end
in_thread do
loop do
sample :elec_hi_snare, amp: 0.8
sleep 0.25
sample :elec_hi_snare, amp: 0.5
sleep 0.75
end
end
Let me know if there’s a spi module for py though, because I know python much better than ruby haha.
Also I’d be really happy to collab on trying to put something that sounds good together. I’m not sure how well you know the actual rhythms, but I have a strong enough grasp that if you could help me wrap my head around stuff like the tumbao, derecho, majao, etc. I should easily be able to code it for us.
I’d love to get somewhat close to playing around with sounds similar to Mitu:
absolutely love their music so just dropping it here for anyone who might enjoy some juuuuuicy latin electro!

code is not working standalone nor in sonic pi - ja. 
this is an experiment for me in testing chatGPT.
i will make adjustments as i am learning the syntax for sonicpi. I know python much better than ruby too.
Yes, let’s work on something together. I know these rhythms well so SIIIIIIIII. i am down.I love MITU! i will follow up with my code.

Awesome!
Here’s something I’ve been working on if you’d like to check it out. I was using different samples in a few places so it sounds a little goofy to me in this form, & there’s way cleaner ways to structure a song but I haven’t gotten around to them yet, haha.
My next goal is building out markov chains to control the music, as this tutorial shows: Making Markov Chain Hip Hop with SonicPi | omardelarosa.com
Have fun & whenever you’re ready i’ll be hyped to combine forces!!!
