the way this software works is you have patterns which are little piano rolls. you can play these at various speeds and lengths and apply variables like transposition, note density (i think this is chance), velocity, order and some kind of time curve. plus you have "cyclic variables" which sequence accent/legato/rhythm values independently. you get six slots for different settings per variable and an x/y grid that can modulate the slot selections. pretty interesting

i have long threads on the PowerBook linked here https://anticapitalist.party/@ahihi/116256057687007923 but in summary, it is a PowerBook 160 (25 MHz 68030, 8 MB RAM, 4-bit grayscale display). it runs System 7.5.3, which i really should downgrade to 7.1, but lazy i had to do a few repairs to make it usable - replaced power supply - replaced HDD with BlueSCSI - replaced display cable - recapped display - glued loose trackball roller to axle - replaced keyboard - replaced PRAM battery
