Yep, Qtractor should work just fine for the MIDI recording part of this.

For the synth part, I'd look at PHASEX (or the updated phasex-dev fork),
which has been discussed recently on the list. It can make some nice
sounds, but more importantly, it's very MIDI controllable -- you can
right-click on any control to map it to a MIDI CC very easily. If you
can send CC messages from knobs on your controller, and record them in
to Qtractor, you can program PHASEX to respond to them.

Thanks
