Sonic Pi Atom integration

This package makes it easier to write and run your Sonic Pi code within Atom. :) NOTE: This package may not be regularly maintained. This is not an official package.

Features

  • Control Sonic Pi from Atom:
    • Play a buffer
    • Stop the current runs
    • Save a buffer and tell Sonic Pi to play it - allowing for playback of large buffers
    • Play a selection
  • Keyboard shortcuts (similar to Sonic Pi's shortcuts) to activate the commands
  • The server IP and port can be changed in the settings
  • Integration with the tool-bar package
  • Auto-completions for (most) synths, FX, and samples (not nearly as well integrated as the official Sonic Pi GUI though)
  • Very partial syntax highlighting and snippets for Sonic Pi functions
  • Quick action to access the online tutorial from your web browser

This isn't a full client for Sonic Pi; it requires the server to already be running and doesn't have support for viewing the logs, closing the server etc.

Requirements

Sonic Pi needs to be running in the background. The tool-bar package for Atom needs to be installed to use the toolbar functionality.

Changes from rkh/atom-sonic

  • Adjusted OSC code to send to Sonic Pi server, and optionally to the Sonic Pi GUI (OSC messages sent to GUI appear in the cue log).
  • Added save-and-play-file command, which saves the current file and tells Sonic Pi to play the file. This allows for playback of large buffers. This command can be activated using F5.
  • Added integration with the tool-bar package to add buttons which run some commands to a toolbar.
  • Changed some of the default key bindings to be more similar to Sonic Pi's keyboard shortcuts, see below for the key bindings.
  • Added options to change the Sonic Pi server IP address and port, and the Sonic Pi GUI IP address and port.
  • Updated autocompletions for synths, FX and samples (not nearly as integrated as the official Sonic Pi GUI though)

I'm happy to contribute these changes to rkh/atom-sonic if wanted. :)
