For a quick project (trying to get something finished by the holidays), what program would you people recommend that I could learn in a very short time to create short patterns (like how I would create a song in hydrogen, only the patterns you combine to make a song are samples instead of drum patterns)? Something I could then export to wave or sync directly with ardour. I don't have any midi capabilities at the moment so it would really have to be all samples and "piano roll". Any suggestions welcome!
You could use rosegarden + ardour. Set rosegarden and ardour to the same BPM! Create the patters in rosegarden in the matrix editor (i.e. piano roll), you can hook rosegarden to DSSI plugins 'internally' or to any external midi generator. When the patterns sounds good record it into ardour. Add patterns this way.
Once you have all your base patterns arrange them in ardour, here you also do the chisel work on them, e.g. shortening, modifying them (grid is very handy). Add fx, fades, panning etc if needed.
I did a quick proof of concept of this kind of approach about a year ago after discussions on #la-it on freenode. The result here:
