Thanks for the response!! That's actually really interesting, and sounds like a lot of fun... and woah, I want a modular even more now.... 
Real-time changes of anything in the modular through a billion knobs.
I can imagine 
but I guess that's half the fun... right...?
I don't always follow a set way of writing music in general, but the best ones have either just collapsed into place (it's a beautiful feeling when that happens) or, what I normally do, is I pick a feeling. I pick an emotion, either one that I'm feeling, or one that I want to feel, and I make the music give me that feeling. I want the music to take me there. From there I just work until I get the feeling I want from the track. Never really turns out great though...
I'm excited to see where this ends up! Good luck with it all!! 
P.S. That was a really neat and well though out survey. 10/10 would answer again.
Damn... This is awesome. Is there anywhere we can see how exactly he uses his setup?! I'm curious to see how he uses that sequentrix...
Difference is, they made this style of music without meaning to, and had been doing it for a while. Realised it was kind unique, so they decided to give it a name. NOT by giving it guidelines and making music limited to that.

Uh sure. So basically, the second digit in the H command tells it which line to jump to, and the first digit tells it how many times to do that, with 0 being infinite.
So in something like this (ignore the q commands, they are for midi fuckery)
The arpeggiator goes from line 0 through 3, 3 times and then 6-A, one time, and then C-E, on to infinity.
Some things to remember with this is that the value in the TSP column doesn't play until it goes "Through" it. So only on the time that it goes on through the "Gate"
Also, nothing says you have to keep the two columns in the same "Gate" structure. You could have one for modulation, and one for the transpose.
(Also if you wanna try this table for yourself that first groove leads to a grove of 6/6)
But yeah, gated hops are ALSO a great way to add life to long notes, because you can bring in different types of modulation in through the sustain.
Holy shit, I didn't realise that was what the first digit did... Mind=blown. Thanks! This will be very useful
Yeah. Just use the transpose. You can alter the speed of the arpegiation, and you can even set up hop gates so the chord "evolves" over the length of it.
Care to elaborate please...? I get what you mean, but I'm not exactly sure how you implement this
Personally, I don't have too many habits. I start with a kick as instrument 20, snare as instrument 21, closed hat as 22, open hat as 23... etc. All percussive sounds are higher than that, and all the other instruments just start randomly at 00. Oh, and pattern 7F is filled with blank phrases FE, with a K command on the first beat.... But apart from that, I'm as flexible as an iron girder that just woke up.
I dig it. I was wanting to make some stuff similar to this but haven't had time at the moment. But this is good! Keep it up please.
They're p much the same thing, but with tables he'd have to have some type of visual display showing you what's going on which would raise the amount of work and the cost
I'd still rather pay extra to have those tables though. In my opinion I find them far more versatile and fun than the MML editors. That said, it would still be cool, I'd just prefer tables.
Also, wouldn't you need a visual display for both though?
To be honest, I really wouldn't mind a synth, even if it wasn't a chiptune based sound, that could have it's parameters automated by a table, like in trackers... That would just be rad to me.
Or a SID inspired synth, like a cheap, more producable sammichSID or SIDstation.
Haha "local"... well, I'm still pretty far away but there are heaps of guys on the mainland doing this stuff man!
As for LSDJ or Nanoloop, depends what you want really. I personally find it a lot easier to use LSDJ musically, although I haven't had too much experience with Nanoloop... Nanoloop is pretty cool for jamming though! So, all depends what you want really and what's more accessible.
I agree with rvan in that it didn't sound particularly chip to me, probably because I'm so used to LSDJ as well... What did you use to make it?!
This is pretty good! However, I found it hard to distinguish the different parts, I mean, towards the beginning the melody and the bass clashed a little bit, but that might have been what you are after.
One other thing is that it was quite monotonous, which is cool in it's own way, but it probably wouldn't hurt to add in a few fills and extra little hooks and things just to keep people listening. Apart from that, this is cool! Keep it up. 
Yes I am.Fmynth will be next big thing...
Look, I'm sorry, and I'm fairly certain this was said in the other thread, but a genre isn't going to form out of someone setting down some rules and people following those rules. Even if it did become a genre, it would probably die out pretty quickly because no one would have their heart in the music. Successful genres come from people doing what they want to do, enjoying it, and not aiming to make a new genre. No one said to the Beatles "You can't use a sitar in this record, you're a pop band". No one told Jimi Hendrix that he had to use a guitar and play a genre called rock. They did what they wanted and people enjoyed it, and that's the way music should be.
/rant
Aren't you the guy who tried to create/force some other non-genre as well?
FMynth if I remember correctly...? It was like liquid/IDM, but one of the synths was an FM synth. I reckon next we should do FMopera-X, it's like an ordinary opera, but it never ends, it just keeps building, and one of the tenors is actually a DX-7.
The intro to 'spontaneous devotion' by random... Just repeating forever... The echoes... The filter sweep... The bass...
