The EsoWave sequencer is a project for the Jazzmutant Lemur, by Rick Hawkins. It is a esoteric/generative midi sequencer that sends midi notes according to the positions of 32 nodes in a 2D plane. The nodes are connected along an elastic string and can be additionally controlled by two waveforms that drive the X and Y coordinates. Available from the JazzMutant user area.
