- autocatalysis - neurons
- energy fields - fibonacci numbers
- loops - morphs
- transforms - interpolations
- palindromes - variations
- divisions - primes
- solar systems - rna
- clusters - proportions
- permutations - rotations
- vco's, vca's - all scales & chords
- tunings - vrml
Build-in Common Lisp interpreter enables the composer to add new functions online. When used together with MCL compiler available from www.digitool.com, the composer may also compile new plug-ins and use interface builder for constructing visual musical solutions.
