I think the question is: what are you using to interact with these sounds.
If you are manipulating them through a pre-designed digital
instrument/performing environment then you probably you wouldn't call it a
live coding process.
Live coding would be the act of interacting with the sounds through an
indeterministic medium to process those.

Personally I love doing both, starting with the instrument and hack the
source code at some point. Then what it is ?
I don't know, maybe a hybrid ?

Whatever works !
