Yup, I miss Stella (and Midi import) :-)

Anyhow, without requoting the code, since you have the URL above there,
a couple of thoughts come to mind, in case you haven't considered them:

1) Forget using CM patterns. At each stage, write the output to a
sequence, then for the next stage write a function to generate the next
sequence based on reading the previous sequence and inserting the new
events (well maybe you can still use patterns here)

2) Write some code that progrmatically generates the nested pattern code

Apologies in advance if these ideas are obvious, or if I'm
misunderstanding the scaling problem.
