Anyway, what I'm trying to do is use it along with
an app that could
play back audio files. Basically, I want to use seq24 for the
sequencing, and use another app for triggerring samples, all running
from the same clock (which is where I'm assuming JACK comes in).
Does anyone know of a tutorial or walkthrough for beginners to achieve
this setup? Again, I apologize for my limited Linux knowledge, but
this platform seems extremely interesting for audio, and I definitely
want to learn what I can. The rock solid performance of seq24 is
incredible. I have yet to see a Windows app perform that I would feel
as comfortable using in a live situation. If other apps perform like
this, I won't be booting back into Windows anytime soon. ;)
Try checking out specimen:

It is a software sampler. The author of specimen uses it with seq24 and
gets very good results.
If you do not already have qjackctl installed, I highley recommend
installing it now:
Qjackctl:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/
Qjackctl can manage jack connections and alsa connections. jack
connections are for sharing audio data between programs, and alsa
connections are for sharing midi data between programs.
I believe once you have both seq24 and specimen running, the midi ports
in specimen will be available to you in seq24. You can then trigger
samples in specimen by sending midi notes from seq24 to specimen.
Is this what you were looking to do?
