Jackbeat is an audio sequencer, a Linux tool for musicians and sound artists. It has support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit.

· drummachine-like interface for fast and easy editing
· realtime operation : while playing, the sequence can be edited and resized, the bpm rate modified, and new samples loaded,
· virtually unlimited number of tracks and beats
· easy to use and yet powerful : just JACK it into jack-rack and you can apply LADSPA effect plugins on a per track basis, perform mastering with jackeq , etc...
· loads and saves .jab files, Jackbeat's file format, based on xml and packed with tar,
