> Hi, everyone! Thank you for reading. I’m live corder in Japan. I hope the live cording industry will be excited in the future. There are various ways to live cording such as Tidalcycles and Gibber.(Of course I use Sonic Pi) What do you think is the advantage of Sonic Pi? Please tell me your opinion.
