Trackers are a very different beast, however for my sake I've found them a good intermediary whilst your looking for the live coding language that suits you.

I use Renoise (not free, but very cheap imo and very powerful), and have a sample pack called AWKW (I think, its something like that) which is just a load of single cycle waveforms, and I use that to build rudimentary subtractive synths.

I think you must mean AKWF, Adventure Kid Wave Forms:

4000+ single-cycle wave files of all sorts of sounds from various synths and instruments and such. Lots of great noises in there!

Bingo, that's it

I've been thinking about going even simpler, and just building all my synths out of Sine, Triangle, Square and Sawtooth, but for now AKWF is working a treat
