Since I couldn't find any tools that gave me full access to the SCSP's unique feature set, I decided to try writing one myself. The result of this effort (and my first serious Sega Saturn project) is Calypso: an interactive sound design program that lets you create and play your own custom instruments on the Saturn from a variety of parameters and samples. Although the program doesn't have much practical use yet, I hope that you enjoy playing around with its FM capabilities and other features—don't hesitate to let me know if you come up with any interesting sounds.
You can download Calypso from its Github releases page. The cue file and source code are inside the included 'Calypso' folder, and be sure to check out the documentation there for detailed information about running, using, and editing the program.
I'd also like to extend a massive thanks to Ponut for developing the ponèSound driver, which is more or less the reason this exists at all.
