Getting lost within a list of instrument events is sometimes less desirable than being able to place events on a grid or lattice. This is especially true when working with rhythms. I’m a firm believer that the interface influences the compositional process. This is why I’ve begun development on dseq, an instrument that allows me to input drum patterns in a manner that is much more user-friendly.

This is genius – Way to abuse the technology!
I like your site. I’ve been messing with your code to learn new Csound stuff. I’ve been using Csound for 7 years, this is the first time of come across using strings as input data. I tend to use CMask (in a deterministic way) or write simple programs to generate scores for drum patterns.
It occurred to me that it must be possible to write code that would input a string, and chop it up in the manner of a breakbeat cutter, either to output the strings or generate new drum patterns.
I like the sound that your drums make.
