Hi,
For this purpose I think that you could build a tool that contains multiple synthesis techniques and that these can be controlled from your input data (data that will be rescaled appropriately).
- FM with multiple portant or modulant that change the index, ratio or frequency, taking the values from your data;
- One noise generator whose signal is filtered by one array of band pass filters: the cutoff freqency and band width is controlled from your data;
- A series of final effects (bit reduction, chorus, echo and reverb) they can beautify the final sound.
is a good mode to insert your data in your instrument…
- Some of these values they can be further adjusted at will with knobs, sliders and so on…
In the beautiful Iain McCurdy collection are presents some Cabbage examples helping you to have a great place to start
The final project is one laptop with your Cabbage Instrument that send your audio output to a sound system.
simple project used to start 
keep us updated,
