    A great free (although the Android and iPhone versions are paid) Tracker that works on just about any desktop or portable operating system. I would argue it is the best portable tracker software available

    Rosegarden is a DAW; OpenMPT is a sample sequencer, more akin to FL Studio that a DAW.

    Rosegarden is more similar to Ardour.

    OpenMTP is a tracker, Rosegarden is a MIDI sequencer. Two functionally different types of musical composition.

    Bosca Ceoil is all about looping, and designed that way at its heart. Songs are built up from lots of tiny 16 note patterns – the intended workflow is that you loop over these single patterns until you have something you like, then you start making variations.
