the great advantage over DAWs etc is that you can name things and slowly build your own bespoke tools... for this work all timing was done in reference to the words rather than beats and bars - I can re-flow the whole piece by tapping through the syllables on my space-key. Something that would be totally impossible in a traditional platform!


In loopmaster you can define functions and abstract slowly and build your tools as well. Not yet with callbacks but it's in the works to do more complex SuperCollider-style stuff.
