Do I dare plug my own program.

Yes, yes, I think I do.

My personal setup revolves around seq24 for sequencing and specimen
for sampling.  Both of these programs come from the "less-is-more"
school of thought; my own personal eventual goal is to provide an
alternative to monolithic setups, with standalone mixers, modulators,
synths, HDRs, and sequencers, all hooked up with excellent session
management.

However, if you prefer the monolithic approach, a friend personally
recommended MusE to me.  As far as I know, there aren't currently any
plugin samplers for linux out there.  I eventually plan to separate
specimen into a plugin host and a plugin, but don't hold your
breath...
