I've hacked some (rather ugly) bash scripts together ... but they can 
create evenly spaced (sample accurate) sample chains.

If you have a list of samples (format doesn't matter as long as sox can 
read it) then eg

trimpad.sh list.txt kicks-long l 8

will create chains with 8 samples each, called 8_kicks-long_01.wav, 
8_kicks-long_02.wav, ... for as long as there are 8 more samples in the 
list (eg 80 samples will create ten chains). "l" just means a long 
interval (defined in the script are long, medium and short intervals). 
Trimmed samples fade out (no pops) and you can easily configure the 
output format (depth, rate, channels).

I've also created a helper script to create lists of suitable samples 
for the intervals long, medium and short (so to create a list of short 
samples which don't get trimmed in the chaining process for example).

If anyone is interested, let me know.

thx bye
