OK, new generative experimental ROM - "SuperMagic Music Maker"!
Be sure to read the accompanying text as there's a LOT more interaction in this one.
I think I either need to take more drugs or less. I haven't worked it out yet

very cool, It's actually super inspiring as the robot brains always think of combinations of sounds and patterns that I wouldn't.

I really like it! It's funky and weird and lovely.

Oh, something I forgot to mention in the instructions: because the 'randomness' is only pseudo-random, the sounds will be the same for a while every time you boot the ROM. To try to compensate for this I added a little boot-up trick - if you hold down any combination of buttons on the controller as you boot the ROM/turn on the console, the starting 'seed' for the random number generator will be different.

Might have a revised version shortly. Been trying to think of a clever way to get some arps in
Plus:
- randomising the starting patterns (currently the first 4 'bars' are set to the same pattern from boot),
- a 'randomise everything' button to mess shit up if it's getting a bit stale
- more patterns which I might also group into 'straight' and 'jazz'* to possibly enable a control that will limit the pattern selection to more straight rhythms for when it's getting a bit chaotic
- a 'keep this pattern playing' control on a per-voice basis
(*not technically jazz. Not even remotely jazz.)
