I musy have missed it, but didn't anyone mention Amiga-style mod trackers - many of which are FREE and can create very complex music in the right hands. I use Impulse Tracker myself, but most of them operate in a similar way. Some can even take midi input (a keyboard) to create the tracks in realtime and then you can tweak that input when you're done.
Do a search for 'mod tracker' and I'm sure you'll find many of them. Instruments for them can be found in many places as well (most are free). Try http://www.modarchive.com/ for example.
CPU-usage for playing a mod is quite low actually. FMod's site claims something like 3% CPU-usage, so don't worry about that too much.
