For samplers, scroll down the left-hand panel and click on "Software
Synthesis".

There are all kinds of music/sound apps on Linux.
- sequencers like Rosegarden (comparable with EMagic Logic 5)
- DAW (analog-digital recorders) like Ardour and ReZound
- samplers and "digilog synthesizers"

As a rule of thumb, install ALSA as the sound driver, install JACK as
the sound manager/dispatcher/daemon, install LADSPA if you want sound
processing plugins in your applications, then install all those neat
apps that you need.
It's better to run the sound stuff as root, at least in the beginning,
to workaround various issues (including running the apps with real-time
priority, so that they don't drop frames); the alternative
(non-root-using) involves using patched kernels and stuff like that and
it may require some tweaking, so you may want to avoid that in the
beginning.
