I'm currently taking a music technology course at UNO, but we haven't gone beyond "Charles Babbage and the beginning of computers" yet. It's sad, I know, but in a few weeks I should be able to help you with this. Assuming we actually get beyond the basics of how to use a mouse...
Right now I'm currently using the Power Tab editor (hey, it's free), but that's primarily to keep track of some of the songs I write, should I forget them later on. It has synthesizers for most instruments out there, but they all sound like...synthesizers. It's meant to be used primarily for guitar anyway, so it's not like it really matters.
As for anything catering primarily to rhythm, I can't help you at this point in time. :(
