Rosegarden4, MuSE However, I'd recommend Hydrogen for generating drum loops. Start with these half a dozen applications, you will get a good idea of where to go next. Rosegarden has a significant but worthwhile learning curve, as does Ardour, which you will want to investigate once you are ready to start recording / putting it all together. cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
