General features:

• Very user-friendly, modular, fast and intuitive graphical interface based on QT 4.
• Sample-based stereo audio engine, with import of sound samples in .wav, .au and .aiff formats.
• Support of samples in compressed FLAC file.

Sequencer and mixer features:

• Pattern-based sequencer, with unlimited number of patterns and ability to chain patterns into a song.
• Up to 64 ticks per pattern with individual level per event and variable pattern length.
• 32 instrument tracks with volume, mute, solo, pan capabilities.
• Multi layer support for instruments (up to 16 samples for each instrument).
• Ability to import/export song files.
• Unique human velocity, human time, pitch and swing functions.
• Multiple patterns playing at once.

Other features:

• JACK, ALSA, PortAudio and OSS audio drivers.
• ALSA MIDI and PortMidi input with assignable midi-in channel (1..16, ALL).
• Import/export of drumkits.
• Export song to wav file.
• Export song to midi file.

This package contains a collection of drumkits for Hydrogen, a sample based drum machine/step sequencer.

More drumkits can be installed per-user via the Hydrogen's "Import library" function in the "Instruments" menu.

LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and closed- source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you the ability of producing music with your computer by creating cool loops, synthesizing and mixing sounds, arranging samples, having more fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more...

LMMS combines the features of a tracker-/sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/ sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.

Pure Data (also known as Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics processing. Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical computations require separate packages such as gem (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) or pd-pdp (Pd Packet).

Seq24 was created to provide a very simple interface for editing and playing midi 'loops'. It is a very minimal sequencer that excludes the bloated features of the large software sequencers and includes a small subset that proved to be useful for live performances.

A simple but very useful midi controlled sampler for ALSA/JACK featuring 64 notes of polyphony, spread across up to 64 patches; fast, high quality pitch scaling, linear ADSR volume envelopes; low pass filter with resonance; a variety of direction-independent playback modes and zoomable sample editor for loop and play points;
