Sonic Pi is very accessible and a great front end for SuperCollider and livecoding music in general.<p>Some others worth trying depending on your personal choice and bias for a particular PL:<p>Euterpea - Haskell library for music creation [0].<p>Extempore - Scheme-based livecoding environment with a low-level language too - xtlang [1].<p>Grace (Common Music) - Scheme-based livecoding with crossplatform IDE [2].<p>Sporth (used by AudioKit) - Forth-based, low-level livecoding of music.<p>I think Grace is probably the most self-contained. The single executable for Linux, Mac, and Windows comes with samples and a choice of a scheme-based language, or a more simplified, more Algol-like one called SAL.<p>I like extempore because of its CAAS (compiler as a service) model, scheme language, and the ability to create from the note up, or to create sounds from scratch (sine waves and such).<p>I splurged for the Haskell School of Music book based on the Euterpea library that was originally written by Paul Hudak, but finished by one of his students, Donya Quick. This is how I originally learned Haskell, and it was a lot of fun and educational to boot.<p><pre><code> [0] https://www.euterpea.com/
