Sounds maybe similar to the Ppooll Max patch ?
Had some good fun with that this past year.

A nice summary I stumbled upon Kenaxis
By Stefan Smulovitz
Inspired by hearing about Xenakis's use of hand drawn waveforms and
the amazing glissandos of Metastasis I began developing my own
performance environment called Kenaxis. A guiding principle in designing
the interface was that the hand of the performer and thus the gestures
of the performer always be present. Kenaxis is a stand-alone collection
of Max/MSP patches that combines an intuitive interface with tools such
as granular synthesis, FFT phase vocoder, convolution, analog synthesis,
automated envelopes and filters, and random file players. Compatible
with MIDI and OSC, Kenaxis easily interfaces with numerous devices (e.g.
joysticks, wacom tablet, iPod touch, Wii controller, Lemur, etc.) A
separate patch called Kenaxis Surround takes the whole thing into the
multi-channel environment. Smulovitz additionally provides a help menu
and manual with Kenaxis. Kenaxis transforms the laptop (or desktop) into
a musical instrument by combining an intuitive, easy-to-learn interface
with powerful audio processing tools. Equally useful for performing and
composing, Kenaxis is currently used by musicians worldwide for
practices as diverse as electroacoustic works, noise, ambient, glitch,
soundscapes, live looping, film scores, theatre and DJing. http://www.fcat.sfu.ca/forms/grad_travel_request/index.php?-action="">
I got it, and I am currently fiddling with it. It's easy to anything, easy to do really impressive stuff, tough to get it to do exactly what you think you want it to do, as generally that wasn't what you wanted
