Also worth looking at ZynAddSubFX for synthesis and QSynth / Fluidsynth for

Rosegarden4, MuSE

However, I'd recommend Hydrogen for generating drum loops.
Start with these half a dozen applications, you will get a good idea of where

to go next. Rosegarden has a significant but worthwhile learning curve, as

does Ardour, which you will want to investigate once you are ready to start

recording / putting it all together.
