So - What's a quick easy path here? I'm also on MacOS X and had the same problem. For immediate sound output, I liked Rohan Drape's [SuperCollider bindings][hsc3], though I started to write my [own library][tomato-rubato] that abstracts away from the internals and presents a simpler interface. Maybe you can find something interesting here. It's currently dormant because the feedback loop in GHCi is still too long for my taste, though. I found Henning Thielemann's [midi][] package very useful for reading MIDI files, I guess it's equally useful for writing MIDI files.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Music / MIDI help
For midi you can try my packages: temporal-music-notation and temporal-music-notation-demo (and maybe temporal-music-notation-western). It looks like Haskore but different inside. It tries to be clear, minimal, more efficient and documented (as far as my english goes though).
