Drummachine:
http://www.hydrogen-music.org/

Sampler:
http://gazuga.net/specimen/  (It's no longer maintained, though)

http://simsam.sourceforge.net/  (no update since long, never tried this one)

Maybe a tracker is right for you:
http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/

Recording, Arranging
http://ardour.org/  (audio only)
http://www.muse-sequencer.org/  (audio/midi, a bit rough for both cases)

For samples, check:
http://ccmixter.org/
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/
