A sequencer that treats the sample folder as a database. You type words: kick, impact, glitch, loop and so on, then the rows fill with whatever matches.

I gave up some control over the rhythm. Each row runs its own algorithm, so nothing lines up for long.

The idea of putting all the sound in RAM is borrowed from Renick Bell's Konduktiva. The whole program is written in SuperCollider.
