...There are two variants of the program: Kangas Sound Editor which requires MySQL for its database, and Kangas Sound Editor QI which does not (it uses an internal database - HSQLDB - instead). Kangas Sound Editor (QI) uses a system of boxes or cells, which are placed by the user onto a timeline using drag-and-drop, and which represent entities such as chords, repetition, and individual sounds or notes.

Users can collaborate with and build on the work of others via an XML import/export facility.

The program puts beats through evolution - survival, mutations, reproduction. The purpose, in the words of Africa Bambaataa - Looking for the perfect beat. Using a genetic­ algorithmic framework, the user's taste defines a Beat fitness function - she decides which beats survive and breed, and which join the choir invisible. In addition, the user can easily define an automatic fitness function, put the program on 'auto­pilot' mode, and let it speed up evolution. Different types of mutations (including inactive genes, changing instruments, and more) occur randomly (or at the user's control), and the user can add her own beats to the population. ...
