Sonic Pi v5 is released.

Sonic Pi is now more friendly, more accessible, more powerful and more fun.

There’s something to excite everyone - from the friendlier error messages, to the pro-audio config, to the new dynamic visuals for performance.

Thank you for a fantastic job. I’ve installed it on Linux x64 and so far everything is working perfectly.

it’s excellent thanks Sam. running smoothly on linux x64 here. the pipewire patchbay makes multichannel audio a doddle. the mild dark colour scheme looks fresh and having the signal displayed in each loop is a really nice touch. well done on a great update.

Hey, Sam. Thanks for the amazing job you’ve done for the live coding community throughout the years! Sonic Pi 5 is amazing!

I’d like to collaborate with the project by translating the remaining sections which still aren’t translated to PT-BR in the tutorials. As I am myself a music teacher in a middle school, this is something I would have to do for my students anyway, so I could share the translation and put it under collective criticism. I can’t collaborate with money now, but can offer that work.

That would be amazing. We have a crowd-sourced translation system you can use. This document should help you get started: [sonic-pi/TRANSLATION.md at dev · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi · GitHub](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/blob/dev/TRANSLATION.md)
