Try looking into Pure Data (visual-style programming) or Supercollider. As a programme you might enjoy the second one better, yet for application which require bigger interface, PD is easier to handle.

What operating system are you using?

Rosegarden and Muse are both open source sequencers that you might check out...

There are some good tools packaged up at Stanford's CCRMA too...

I second the recommendation for Pure Data, and you might check out Csound which has been around for a long time... Cool

Regards,
Doug

You want an open source DAW?

Try Non-Daw and Non-Mixer. They were developed by my buddy Jon Liles. They run on linux. I think he wrote them in C/C++. All of the source is available. Check them out. He did a fantastic job and quite frankly it's hard to believe that one person developed it (of course it was built using some existing libraries).
