We Were Having Such a Good Time

I'd prefer my times precedented, if possible.
This piece is an evolution on last week's, using the same particle simulator to excite parameters across a variety of instruments, but this time adding a new Max effect I created, which holds a bucket of MIDI notes, until one of these particles crosses a certain boundary, at which point it has a chance to drop some or all of these notes in a random staggered fashion. I added two layers of such midi buckets that drop into each other, and then added a some other bouncy MIDI note funkiness to dress up one of the pads. This is one of those pieces that sounds very different every time I render it, so the messiness and imperfection is the feature, and I have no reservations about it!
On another note, Weekly Beats is starting to feel a little bit more like group therapy (not the Above and Beyond kind).
