- Csound

does this for me since ages on virtually all platforms

- Pure-Data

- SMS
There was once this package but it seems to be morphed into a library 
called Clam, got to dig it myself.



The lack of instrument editors are obvious but on the other hand and 
according to the sales of the instrumentmanufacturer I like to ask, if 
they still needed. People starting now from the ground prefer using 
software and should get themself decent controling hardware.

The only point I dislike frankly in Linux is the lack of many drivers 
but as said before its not the Linux comunity to be blamed, its the 
manifacturers with their close-source-no-documentation-paranoia mentality.

Just to add some aspects and thoughts,

Malte
