Thanks, Will, that's it exactly. I remember these things from long ago, 
haven't seen one for years.

So, besides the one (with GUI) for the Mac, is there anything else 
recommended ? The advice for Csound et alia is good, but the asker 
doesn't know any audio programming languages. Baudline might be right, 
I'll suggest it and see if it works for him.

Thanks to everyone who replied. As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Best,
