You could use rosegarden + ardour. Set rosegarden and ardour to the same
BPM!
Create the patters in rosegarden in the matrix editor (i.e. piano roll),
you can hook rosegarden to DSSI plugins 'internally' or to any external
midi generator. When the patterns sounds good record it into ardour. Add
patterns this way.

Once you have all your base patterns arrange them in ardour, here you
also do the chisel work on them, e.g. shortening, modifying them (grid
is very handy). Add fx, fades, panning etc if needed.

I did a quick proof of concept of this kind of approach about a year ago
after discussions on #la-it on freenode. The result here:
