I must be recommending Reason! No... wait, I know.... Fruity Loops!!!
It seems quite fashionable to make fun of Reason. Except there's a
lot of packages (including open source projects) that try and copy it,
so I assume their approach isn't entirely without merit.
I don't think any Supercollider advocates have said anything on this
thread yet, but if you're scared off by Pd's clumsy interface, have a
look at:
http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/
Mailing list archive:
http://elists.resynthesize.com/sc-users/
List:
http://www.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/sc-users
The list has a lot of good patches posted to it, so if you fancy
having a muck about to get started have a root around there. It's an
especially good starting point if you wish to create generative audio,
because so many of the examples in the help files are essentially
little generative patches.
I use both Pd and Supercollider in perfect harmony, and I even use
Reason sometimes (take THAT Derek ;). Oh, and Logic, and Numerology
(http://www.five12.com/). I bought them all (I don't really agree
with using cracked software, being a software developer
professionally, stop trashing my industry folks!).
I highly recommend Supercollider, although ultimately, your
imagination is a more important asset than what software/instruments
you use.
Have fun,
Alex
