I'm working on a percussion piece where I've

I've got a library of around one hundred or so samples I designed that I
want to experiment with i.e. arbitrarily select samples to play in order to
build a little percussion ensemble for the piece.
What I'd like to do is have ONE program (if possible) where I can import the
.mid file, create a multi-sample instrument (yes like a drum kit) and assign
any of my percussion samples to the key/note being played where I can tune,
pan and adjust volume for each key/note.
I'd prefer to do it all 'under one roof' if at all possible.
I looked into LMMS but don't think it really does what I need it to --
besides, the LMMS documentation is very poor - so it turned me off to
researching it further.
Can any one point me to a simple one app does all environment on Linux where
I can simply import a mid file and make a multi-sample instrument?
muse can do pretty much all of that.

I recommend checking out the muse2 SVN branch.
Or you can combine hydrogen with muse, or with rosegarden.
