Renato asked what approach would you take. Not if one could do what
Moldover or other Ableton Live users do with Linux/FLOSS tools.
I'd take the Qtractor approach since that's my tool of choice. I admit,
it was a bit of a blindly-replying-action as I am a Qtractor afficionado
and know close to nothing about Ableton Live, but I did watch the
Moldover Youtube vid and based my premature biased judgement on that ;)
With the right samples, plugins, time and MIDI bindings I think one can
come a long way with Qtractor as a mixer and a looper/sampler (Hydrogen,
SooperLooper, Kluppe etc.). But no, it won't be easy, and yes, it will
take a lot of time.

Best,
