dynamic instantiation in response to a trigger..
Say for instance you count zero crossings in a singer's voice and on every
4th one you instantiate a synth patch to put out a short additive grain
where the number of oscillators is determined by the amplitude of the voice.

More like the plug-ins of MSP or Csound ugens, except for the real time
instantiation requirement.
