yes this is the kind of thing it is being built for. On my short todo  
list is a Hooks window that lets you associate snippits of code with  
"triggers" (keyboard strokes, mouse clicks, midi notes etc) so you can  
interactively trigger the evaluation of bits of code. the other thing  
that may not be obvious since examples are still so sparse -- you dont  
have to write processes you can just call send interactly, and also  
send in the future. So you can just commad-Return this make sound:

loop repeat 10
   for t = 0 then t + .1
   send "mp:midi", t, .2, between(60, 90)
end

one process can sprout another process.
