It's part of the latest version of the SLUGens, a pack of SuperCollider
UGens.

The current (small) instruction set is listed in the help file info below:

Nick Collins
Instruction instruction synthesis (breakpoint set interpreter)
Instruction.ar(bufnum, mul, add)
Converts a buffer of virtual machine instructions into synthesis. Based on
breakpoint manipulation with linear interpolation.
bufnum- Number of buffer holding instructions on the server in the form of
successive COMMAND/PARAM PAIRS
The limited command set:
0 interpolate from last to new breakpoint over PARAM *5000 samples (ie down
to about 10 Hz, sampling rate dependent)
1 new random breakpoint from PARAM.rand2
2 new breakpoint by perturbing last breakpoint amp by PARAM
3 new breakpoint by interpolating from last breakpoint amp to its inversion
4 new beakpoint by interpolating (t=PARAM) last two breakpoints (zero amp
breakpoint by instruction (3,1) then (4,0.5))
5 new breakpoint by damping last breakpoint amp (multiply by damping),
damping= PARAM
6 new breakpoint at amplitude +PARAM
8 do next command if probability PARAM
9 goto instruction PARAM
In most cases, sensible values for PARAM are from 0.0 to 1.0! But
instruction 0 will need much larger values in samples.

a=Array.fill(50,{arg i; if(i.even,{7.rand},{1.0.rand})});
