Found this by chance while looking for guides on sound effects design. Check out the examples page - it produces some really interesting and realistic sounding instruments.

Unfortunately, looking at the dates, it most likely has been abandoned, but there's source code and user's manual, so you more programming-oriented guys can probably play around with it some.
