It's a similar product to Pro Tools, Logic, Cuebase etc.  The app has a "scrolling" display, similar to a multitrack tape (as is common with this kind of app).  Graphical window elements are provided by the GTK+ library on all 3 platforms - gtk-x11 under Linux, gtk-win32 under Windows and gtk-osx under OS-X.  The scrolling display is implemented via a gnome canvas.

For commercial front ends I typical use eigther FLTK because of its 
straight formward portability and size. But it might not look fancy 
enough for end users.

Or consider Qt. It is rock solid and locks and feels native. Just its size 
is not small.

Both projects are C++ and well supported.

If you have still the chance to choose, test both. You might want to 
create a own OpenGL interactive area for smooth and fast drawing.
