I agree. The fun isn't in the finished product, rather the process of adding up the different patterns you come up with.
I tried working from the bottom up on this one: 65544,77840,65792,66080,0,78336,65536,65544,65536, 12288,65536,16,65536,12800,66048,32
Started with the "bass" on the bottom, the chords and melody in the mid range, and the "high hat" near the top.
Edit: A more complex one:
78880,65538,72208,65552,65546,7176,65536,66,88064, 65568,65538,67208,0,65536,66512,2
