AudioNodes is a modular, but fully featured digital audio workstation, which means you can use it for a wide variety of audio-related work, including: audio file editing (or mixing), modular synthesis (including polyphonic modular synthesis), and even for composing your score from scratch.
AudioNodes is free software (even for commercial use), but a paid version is also available to fund its ongoing development, unlocking some more advanced settings and options, as well as a variety of cool convenience features.
