I already mentioned Pd in another mail, but "overlooking a great
specialized program" IMO is not an issue, if you can instead learn,
how to write that great specialized program yourself in Pd, Csound or
SC.

Some years ago I was always looking for that superdooper Shareware
software which gives me that much-needed functionality. Nowadays I
just fire up Pd, if I need a certain tool, and patch it.

To program most of your sine wave generator in would take less than 3
minutes, including GUI and volume and midi control, in Pd. Playing
sine waves is what is tought in the very first hour of Pd workshops,
it's generally just a starting point for software synthesizers.

Ciao
