I would recommend seq24 as a nice (not traditional style, but very light

and better for live work IMHO) sequencer, along with specimen (samples)

and jack-rack (ladspa plugin effects box), all through jack run using

qjacktl (to make connections easier), and recorded using jack timemachine

(very simple).
For something completely different from any music program you have ever

used (or imagined) before, try freewheeling.. you definitely have to watch

the tutorial videos to work out how to use it though!
