Frankenloop is a Reaktor powered step sequencer made by Peter Dines. You take a basic pitch modulator but then spice in some randomness so that as it plays through the generator loop is sounds different every time.

A hardware hackers dream, the Coyote-1 Open Stomp is a plug and play reconfigurable effects pedal kit. alGARhythm is going to be all over this when it comes out.
