Stick with mostly samples driven either by specimen or tapeutape. When 
you need a synth pd should be possible to use. Stay away from too many 
(any?) ladspa plugins, maybe besides a simple reverb to add space.

As a sequencer I'd try seq24. It works better the more your music is 
loopbased, but I also done some "normal music" (:-)) with it.

If your system is well configured for realtime you should be able to 
drive your cpu towards 100% without xruns, so that's the most important 
thing...
