Abstract
A generator sequence is defined and used for providing an enhanced user experience and increased user control. A generator sequence is established as a series of user inputs that trigger an output. User inputs to the generator system managing the generator sequence are employed to define a user performance value for a specific point, or position, in the generator sequence. The user performance value is then used to establish a new user point, or position, in the generator sequence. The user inputs and/or the new user generator sequence point are used to identify one or more feedback effects files and/or functions and one or more benefit effects files and/or functions for producing user output. A user can utilize the feedback effects and/or benefit effects to alter their inputs to control the generator sequence.
