I have a project in mind for randomly generated "scales" created by selecting at random 48 different degrees of time compression or stretching (w/pitch shift -- what's the right way to call this again?) and ordering them to be assigned to keys on a midi keyboard. Is this something that can be done easily in a scriptable-from-python way with any existing running on linux softsamplersynth? I've heard it can be done with specimen, but I get the impression it requires lots of gui clicking which is what I specifically want to avoid. -Eric Rz.
