The modern equivalent to what you describe could be live coding in Pd,

Yes indeed -- SuperCollider has a fantastic pattern system that's ideal for
this. You program a pattern and create the synths, then over time, in
realtime, you can modify and change the patterns (and synths, and effects,
and everything else).
There's a good-sized learning curve, but H. James Harkins has created a
fabulous guide/tutorial that focuses on the right things:

This really is an amazing way to make music. If you haven't tried
SuperCollider, I can't recommend it enough -- it's the power of Csound
combined with the natural realitime capabilities of pd, plus a lot more.
