Cross Platform Music Application

Hi,

I'd like to develop a audio/MIDI GUI application suitable for running
on both Mac and WinXP. In the past I've programmed in C#, Visual C++,
Python and a little Java. I'm buying a iMac this week and will be
running both OS X and Win XP depending on what software I'm working
with.

What languages and packages would you rocommend me to work in and why?

Thanks for your help,

Barry.

As for the MIDI part, you might check out Timidity++
<http://timidity.sourceforge.net/>. You can use it with the Goemon
patches:
http://www.anime.net/~goemon/timidity/
Rename to goemon.cfg file to timidity.cfg, and put it where timidity looks
for it; edit the "dir" in it to point where you put the patches.

Another program is Scala <http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/>.
