The latest version of timbreID is 0.7.8, and I'm preparing some work for another update this summer. So the v0.5 binaries on that downloads page are really old! I've been having fun lately revisiting the old timbre space example to add various kinds of functionality. Check out the "constellation" feature for grain sequencing about a minute into this video:
There are options in the constellation control panel to make all kinds of time-locked parallel sequences...lots of fun, especially for composing percussion patterns in full sample mode rather than granular. I need to resurrect my website in the near future and post a new examples package there. Though I plan to continue distributing the binary solely through deken. Alex: it looks like the issue you were having was with all deken packages, and it's already been fixed.
