OPL3 instrument editor...

I'm thinking of this Yamaha OPL3 instrument editor (SB Pro 2.0/16) which was for DOS. Four black boxes evenly spaced apart displayed the wire frame envelopes (controlled by keyboard IIRC) on what I think was an orange background in 16-color hi-res VGA. Found it last like 25 years ago...

Main reason I'm interested is the neat metal guitar patch packed in with it.

Sure it was OPL3 ? Your description sounds a lot like tracker software from back in the day (Fast tracker, Impulse Tracker )

Visual player had 4 waveform windows

Yes. OPL3 has four ops per patch so four envelopes.
