best software for manipulation

i'm looking into doing more trickery with my trusty mouse
and computer... but not for synthesizers or samples... i'm
wanting to manipulate beats into some concrete way, but i'm
stuck on what to use...

what good software is out there for making fat beats that
come off as sounding completely mental?

oh and this thread came about because i am listening to
Autechre's "sublimit" right now and i have always been in
complete amazement by this track. i love the way the beats
are organized for our ears enjoyment.

but im taking "fl" to mean Fruity Loops.

Quoth, don't you have a machine drum? You could do sick
things sending midi to it from something like max or
puredata.

Ableton Live is a good all-around program for arranging
loops, but I don't know if it's the best simply for beats.

I'd say, forget putting 'Beats' into software to make them
'mad'.

sorry toby bear used to be free now they are only demo
versions.

pd tutorial to give you an idea.

If pd is overwhelming download the max demo and tutorials
and see how much you can learn in a month before the demo
times out. Max has the BEST documentation and tutorial
material of any software ever. You can learn stuff from it
that can be applied in any other modular programing type of
software - pd, reaktor, etc

Reaktor as a standalone is great. You can do a lot of the
same manipulative stuff as you can in max, with less of the
work, and its more suited for electronic music.

The best way to do it is making some cool sounding oneshot
samples and then sequencing everything in a midi-matrix
within your favorite host..But you can also do the same with
a (software) drum machine so that you can tweak the
parametres of each sound along with the progression of the
track if that's something you'd want.

can Apple Script do things with all the programs that you
can run, so you can record events under apple script and
then just run that, and it will play it back as you've
tweeked it under a set amount of time?

treat the computer like an instrument. no one's going to
tell you how to make good guitar songs. figure it out
yourself in other words.

No! If you slavishly but all the latest software/hippest
vintage gear, you will automatically become the next IDM
superstar! It has nothing to do with ideas or talent.

seriously, man.

I think glitch VST is going to kill a lot of popular avenues
for sound in this genre.

i think some great shit is on the horizon though!

ie a nice symbiosis between experimental electronics (not
VSTs) and live stuff... the possibilities are endless.

like asa chang and junray

The most interesting things in electronic music always come
out of cheap, shitty, uncool equipment. Look at the 303. It
was considered a piece of shit by 1988, because flashy
digital synths like the DX100 had come out.

This little beauty is still my fave softsynth ever. (Don't get
it confused with the inferior floops version)

Word. Music for me and a lot of other people has always been
about an almaglomation of skill, creativity and expression.
Take out the skill and creativity, and you loose a lot of
what matters.

When the sum of something is greater than its parts, and it
only has one part to speak of, then you don't have shit.

You mean for musicians because everyone's bored of that
sound, or for programmers because everyone will use glitch
vst instead of something else?

Well, people will stop using that vst eventually because
nobody will want to listen to it.

I have downloaded glitch vst and have the following comments
about glitch vst:

- horrible sound quality like a foil anus farting

- interface looks like it was intentionally designed to
prevent inspiration

- "penis"
