I looked at it but since it advertizes itself as a beat slicer it
didn't seem to have the multitrack capabilities that are required to
put a whole song together.

I think th eunderlying technology could be helpful in getting to an
Acid Pro/Ableton Live/Fruity Loops type program. My sense is that this
question has been asked so many times that the real issue is finding a
developer passionate about it. There's no reason at all this couldn't
be done in Linux if someone wanted to make it happen.
