Peter Kirn got all up in our grill with a bubblegum sequencer over on CDM. Well, Peter. I'll see your bubblegum sequencer, and raise you one done with Skittles. If candy-based sequencers were "Shane," this one would be Jack Palance. I think making electronic music with little balls of sugar is a curiously unexplored area that merits more consideration. Somewhere in here, we'll find the next John Cage.

after the performance you can grab your slingshot and take someones eye out.

I would definitely market M&Ms that way: "Melts in your mouth, not on your sequencer."

Yes, that would be one tasty smell to wake up to!

@gibbon: I first performed it at an open mic -- it's actually really fun to distribute the candy to the audience after using it for performance. Oh, and eating on stage :)

It's obvious to me that your method is far better than the gumball method, just from watching the video. Although the gumball one has 16 steps, so there's that.
In any event, how did you get the samples to fire in time with Processing? I've not had any luck in that department.
