i've been scouring the web for free and weird sound generators, sequencers etc... i've found a few interesting things, and i know others exist. i will sample a few i've found below, can you share any you might've found? i would like to use this stuff for ambient/electronica music i create. :D looking for experimental and new ways of creating digital music. highc synth zone tune toys preferably for windows... :D

I see the Windows preferred note, but if you are open to Linux check out the rabbit hole that is DIN.

M makes weird patterns you can feed into a soft synth of choice. Could probably wire up Max/MSP to do similar work.

I haven't used it in years but Buzz might be what you're looking for

Bfxr (previously) is a web-based tool that let's you randomly generate certain classes of 8-bit bleep-bloop sound effects (powerup, explosion, laser blast, etc.), tweak their parameters, and even mutate them step by step. There's also a downloadable version.

Audiomulch is pretty cool. It's not free, but it's not outlandishly expensive.
