This reminds me a lot of the algorithm that drives the Korg KARMA workstation. I often found myself letting it run like this to see where it decided to go. The settings were changed by knobs but there was often slight drift and changes...as well as a lot of 1/256 measures.
The KARMA architecture moved on to the Korg M3 and OASYS (IIRC) and is very interesting. There are some good videos on the topic and Stephen Kay I have found to be very approachable in the forums (albeit a decade ago).
There was even software to make your computer "double" what the KARMA was doing so you could expand to even more channels/instruments...days like this, I miss my synth.
edit: KARMA= Kay Algorithmic Realtime Music Architecture and it was a variant of the Korg Triton system.
