Hey, thanks for all your suggestions!

I tried a few of them. For the record, I'll describe my experience:

* rakarrack's builtin looper: more a loop station than what I'm looking
  for, but a cool program in and of itself
* https://github.com/jeremysalwen/Stutter-LV2: didn't work for me, just
  hangs in an endless loop, eats 100% cpu and doesn't output any audio
* Illformed Glitch2: Tried this one before, very cool effects, might
  buy it
* Loomer Sequent: Non-free, didn't try yet
* Tranches: Standalone JACK app, does what I want in principle, but
  somehow the GUI control for Slice Length doesn't always change the
  slice length, and sometimes it only works for 1/4 or shorter. Not
  sure what's wrong there. Also there's no way to set the loop length
  more fine-grained, maybe works with JACK tempo sync.
* beatslash-lv2 plugins: Author recommends Ingen host, so at first I
  tried the Ingen LV2 plugin inside Carla, but it crashed. The plugins
  work directly in Carla though. It is possible to create the necessary
  Gate CV with 'Control to CV' from the ams-lv2 package. The Beat
  Repeater does what I want, although it would be better if the loop
  length could be changed while looping. The Beat Slicer is also pretty
  cool.
* infamousPlugins 'Stuck': Does the right thing in principle, but I
  didn't find a way to control the loop length.
* artyFX Masha: Does what I want. Loop length controllable while
  looping. Fine-grained length control possible by changing Jack
  Transport BPM from an external program. I did it with Hydrogen...
  Feels kind of hackish though, changing the Transport BPM just to
  control one plugin. Also, is there a small program or plugin which
  simply controls Jack Transport BPM?

So, didn't find the perfect plugin yet but there are several options.
Thanks so far...
