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?
I haven't worked with midi since my Silicon Valley days so I haven't
been paying much attention to midi tools in Linux. Any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance!

Why does it have to be *one* App?
The most natural arrangement I can think of would be to load the MIDI
into Rosegarden and link to Hydrogen, for which you can create
drumkits from your samples.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
