I have recently messed around with Sonic Pi and I have got it to play MIDI notes (via play ??.)

However, I am attempting to follow the guide to SonicPi in the MagPi issue 23 and it told me to enter sample :loop_amen as my first command. I did so and pressed ran. However, I am getting this error:

/opt/sonic-pi/app/gui/../../app/scripts/run-code.rb:288: in `eval': undefined method `sample` for #<SpiderLang:0x160f950> (NoMethodError)
    from /opt/sonic-pi/app/gui/../../app/scripts/run-code.rb:288: in `eval'
    from /opt/sonic-pi/app/gui/../../app/scripts/run-code.rb:288: in `spider_eval'
    from /opt/sonic-pi/app/gui/../../app/scripts/run-code.rb:288: in `<main>'

So, I figured oh well. It's just a sample, it's not important. So I kept going and then they had me enter

with_fx :reverb do
    sample :guit_e_fifths
end

and I get the exact same error, except with a different SpiderLang address.

Does anyone have any clue why all of these errors are occurring? I really want to try out SonicPi, but I can't with these.

  • Are you sure you're running version 2 of Sonic Pi? – recantha Jun 19 '14 at 13:55
  • No, actually, I'm not. I'm running 1.0. I didn't realize that 2.0 wasn't available in the Repos yet. I mis-read that section of the article. :P Thanks for the pointer! If you could create an answer, that would be stupendous :) – RPiAwesomeness Jun 19 '14 at 13:58

You need to be running version 2 of Sonic Pi for these new functions to work.

Version 2 is available from: http://sonic-pi.net/get-v2.0

Full instructions are on that page. I won't duplicate them here because the new version is still being developed and the release candidate number for the download is being updated regularly.

  • Cool. Version 2 is fantastic. Sam Aaron's really put a lot of work in. – recantha Jun 19 '14 at 14:07
