For MacOS people, check out Bol Processor 2. It allows the creation of
non-fixed sound objects (time can vary and scale the events accordingly to
match) within CSound score output.
      I use the program quite a bit. Normally I create an SMF of the drum
pattern I want to use, import it as a sound object, map the MIDI parameters
onto p-fields, create a grammar which modifies the duration of the object
library, and let it rock out. Instant weird-step Drum&Bass!

There are other applications which aren't quite as frivilous....
