First efforts at linking Sonic Pi 3 to Live 9 which I recently acquired (with free upgrade to Live 10 coming soon 🙂 )  
Here I show how you can use a Max for Live plugin in the Connection Kit to detect OSC messages from Sonic Pi and use them to alter parameters of a synth in Live. The resulting audio is fed back to Sonic PI as a live\_audio input (I use Amoeba’s LoopBack to connect the output audio of Live to audio inputs on Sonic Pi on my Mac), where it is further processed with compression and gverb.  
(I find I get a better picture running in YouTube direct rather than in a window here)

Now developed the piece to control 7 different parameters via OSC messages. Listen to it here.
