Tray this:take a Snaresample and loop it. You have to experiment whit the Looplengh to have a good Roll. Then you can assing the Variationslider to Pitch and play around.
Maybe this could help.

They do alot of microediting on their DAW I believe.

step programming is a good start point. try on old digital drum machine like an ry30 - blinding for warp-type type micro rhythms.

just found this...

Equipment

Squarepusher sequenced his pre-2000 work on a Boss DR-660 drum machine, which wasn't designed to sequence entire songs. He uses hardware for his electronic music such as King Tubby-style spring reverbs and Akai samplers (950 for early work, s6000 for later work). Around the year 2000, Squarepusher bought a computer with Reaktor and an Eventide Orville for digital processing. Squarepusher claims to know more about his music equipment than the manufacturers of the products themselves.

From what Ive found out Native Instruments Reaktor is the g.o.

Max-MSP is supposed to be great too.

I have Reaktor (Session) and its awesome, especially when you downoald some of the user made instruments from the website. Alot of those guys are big Squarepusher/Autechre/Aphex Twin fans.

Word?

Yo can you give some of them crazy snare roll examples in audio and talk about how you did em?

I thought the RS didn't have a note repeat or roll button? you gotta insert them or some shit.

i havent used the 1k but i have used the 2kxl and are now using the 4k for experimental dnb beats. I'm not sure what you mean with "change the bpm" do you mean starting to make the beat with a low bpm setting and then set it higher??
