I never tried arts (no KDE here) and I didn't like the old spiral tools.
I use PD.
PD is a Reactor beater for me. I doesn't have Reactor's nice looking
interface (yet, as people are working on that) but is has powerful sound
and control modules on par with Reactor, it is very comfortable to use and
it's quite fast and responsive, especially if you're running a low latency
patched kernel and the latest ALSA drivers.
And PD's possibilities are nearly endless. For example I recently built a little
drum module, that can receive data from PD's own gui objects OR from the
computer keyboard OR from a midi keyboard OR from a midi sequencer OR from
my Saitek gamepad OR from all these together.
