Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a drum machine for your computer with all the features of a traditional drum machine and probably quite a few more.
Strengths [Weaknesses]
Familiar
If you have used classic hardware drum machines, or any software based on that model, you will have no trouble settling into Hydrogen.
Intuitive
Even if you have never used a drum machine, Hydrogen's design is simple and intuitive, but the application itself is powerful and robust.
MIDI
Hydrogen is a MIDI instrument, so you can use it with other musical tools via JACK.
Weaknesses [Strengths]
Just Drums
Hydrogen is a drum machine, not a general-purpose sequencer, and certainly not a DAW. If you like the way Hydrogen works and want it for general music-making, see LMMS.
