Here goes:
Try
soundtracker as a pretty useable FT clone (I actually scored a game with it, and it didn't fail me ;)
As for HD recording, there's a pretty promising multitrack solution called
ardour. It's the most advanced linux multitrack program so far.
There's unfortunately no really powerful integrated MIDI-Sequencing/HD-Recording at the moment.
Brahms is propably what comes closest to Cubase at the moment, but don't expect too much.
The best linux sample editor is
audacity, at least IMHO. I'm using this thing on my studio workstation for post production work, and it's amazing.
As regards software synthesizers,
Alsa Modular Synth,
ArtS and
SpiralModular are modular systems. There are also lots of smaller projects, take a look at
http://linux-sound.org. If you're really adventurous, try
csound, but don't say I didn't warn you. ;)
As for audio visualization and analyzing... umhh... wait a few weeks, I'm working on it. :)
Hope that helps,
jan
