I second the other posters that said you may have to accept starting somewhere and ending somewhere else. I would however raise a flag for csound. It is well documented, stable, highly flexible and has a large user base. Don't let it's text-based nature scare you, it's language is quite simple and very powerful. I tried out pd and found that I spend too much time rearranging the graphics. Also I wasn't able to get dynamic voice allocation which is a must-have for me and the default behaviour of csound. If there were better docs (and I had more time) I'd see if I could get supercollider going. It seems it has a cleaner and more modern language.
