[I hope I won't get bashed on this one, as the program is not
open-source ; it is cheap though : v 1.x costs 39 euro ]
If you are currently using Windows, and considering moving to Linux,
why don't you have a look at this program :

EnergyXT is a modular sequencer, it is very flexible and has a live
mode, which you could find handy for triggering loops. It is currently
Windows-only, but v2.0 - planned for "early 2006" - will be released
on Linux. It will also be a VST host, for VSTs natively compiled on
Linux.

Using a powerful enough computer running Windows as a guest to QEMU
will certainly do the trick. I've tried ReBirth succesfully in the
past.
Of course this is fairly different from using WINE, this is, you need
a Windows license to run it as a QEMU guest. Apart from the ACID
license, of course...
Nevertheless as far as I know ACID is not available to Mac users as
any other Sony/Sound Forge product isn't either. And I find it
spectacularly precise but not so creative. Putting loops in a sampler
and triggering it using a keyboard is a lot funnier. :)
Cordially, Ismael
