Well, Smasher is easy to use. Its biggest problem is that it is not JACKified.

I looked at Tranches. It is not really a beat slicer in how people understand a beat slicer on Windows and Mac OS, it is more a loop trigger.
I played with it, but honestly, I do not understand how to use it or why would I want to. Maybe I should spend more time working with it to understand.

To me a beat slicer is something into which you load a sound file, it analyzes it, divides it into portions and then those get mapped on the keyboard as notes and you can play them as midi. I really miss that kind of an application on Linux. Smasher seems to be it, at least it looks very similar, but it is, as stated above, not JACKified.

Is beat matching different then beat slicing?

aubiocut
http://tardigrade-inc.com/index.php/En/Software
rhythm ferret in Ardour (or what is it's name)?
Freecycle
SuperCollider?

any  ideas/suggestions regarding how to use these or something similar for real time beat slicing? I.e., I record some loops in say sooperlooper; while they're playing, I slice them up and maybe rearrange the slices, add effects etc, and then I redirect this "rearranged" loop where I want - for example again in sooperlooper, replacing or overdubbing the original loop.

I know it's definitely possible in supercollider, but as I am still beginning to learn it (and it seems it will be quite a long journey), I was wondering about a quicker/user-friendlier way of doing it

cheers
Renato
