I converted my Processing app into a Max for Live MIDI Device.  So this does not generate sound, just MIDI notes.  You can position notes in the grid from a sin function.  Rotate them around to simply create all sorts of patterns.  The demos below were created by sending the midi to Live’s Scale Device then into Live’s Collision Device.
