Dear Marco,
I've hidden deep beneath the dust but just barely visible in the barn found a flight case containing a container with a few floppies. Send me your address, I myself can they still unplayable. I also have somewhere between my scores have a print-out with the basic rules, but if you get a flop on the talk you're obviously a little further.
What I remember: Panta Rhei was a random drawing and sound program, ever-changing blocks with still other tones. I ended up embedded in Hero Synth. The latter was a synthesizer plus randomizer, that you could have done all sorts of things without having to know in advance how it would sound. What the eight possible circuits were a joystick I do not remember, but there were two sticks need (or keyboard commands with 1 stick) plus the function keys. Think of the possibility to switch a filter between continuous waveforms, or the up or down run of the oscillators .... preferably all at once.
As a gesture to the consumer you could play the top keys as a keyboard, but it has not helped: Netherlands was not yet ripe for the idea of a randomizer. Or, most waarschijlijk: the randomizer was not ripe for the Netherlands.
The best lesson about computers I incidentally learned at an exhibition in Brussels where I stood with Mopro to demonstrate the Hero Synth JJ: on the way broke the car's computer .... when it was so even though, very modern!
