Well, beast (http://beast.gtk.org) is a modular synthesis environment
with integrated sequencer. However, the sequencing part is not as
modular as the synthesis part; as this seems to be a central idea for
you, you'd need to write the code for that.
As I mainly write QT-Applications I'd prefer a
project that can be
either easily extended to use QT or which already uses it. I think it
is better to work on an existing project, since
I am currently busy with releasing an album and university-shiznit and
I can not imagine doing everything in a prolific way in parallel.
If you prefer QT because it is C++: we're slowly migrating stuff from C
to C++. The GUI of beast is Gtk+, though. However, the separation
between synthesis code and GUI code is rather clean, so you could
implement a Qt C++ GUI on top of the existing synthesis/sequencing code,
if you really wanted to.
And yes, I think unless you have a few years to spend only on coding
your project, I'd recommend working on some existing project, since
writing a modular synthesis app and sequencing and a good gui is a lot
of work.
