Renoise Mod Tracker

I usually don't plug commercial software, but Renoise is worth talking about because of the lack of great audio trackers in Ubuntu. Renoise is "a complete, expandable Digital Audio Workstation" which allows you to create  loops, beats and melodies, based on mod trackers. Mod trackers are characterized by displaying and editing music in an easily understood grid known as a pattern. These patterns are akin to sheet music, but are displayed alphanumerically instead of with musical notation."

It uses alsa and has a jack option, which is a real pity, since one would expect there to be other interface options like oss and pulseaudio.

There is a demo available as well as a full download.
