I used it successfully for years on a 64-bit 2.33Ghz Intel PC with 2GB RAM, but it is unusably slow on a 1.6Ghz 32-bit Intel PC with 1GB RAM. > > https://edge.launchpad.net/seq24/ > > It is available for all major flavours of Linux. > > Mind the one trick that kept me from using it for several months after I > encountered it first(because I did not know it ;-) ): > > Rightklick in a Pattern turns the cursor into a pencil (draw-mode > obviously) BUT: you have to *hold rightklick* and make a leftklick to > actually draw a note in the piano-roll. > > Seq24 is a pattern-sequencer especially capable for live-situations.

Likewise Seq24, I've used it a lot in the past, but it is unusably slow on this little guy.
