Linux?
at this time, not much. libaubio looks promising as the start of various
tools to do this kind of thing, and there is one GUI app already using
it that can do beat slicing and time/pitch effects. unfortunately i
forget its name, but someone will shout it out, i am sure. libsoundtouch
(as used by ardour and audacity) also comes with some cmdline utilities
that might be worth checking into, or you could try it inside ardour
(set the tempo to 84bpm, insert the loop, timeFX it to 1 bar or
whatever)

Thanks Paul. It's looking like FreeSysle is possibly the app you were
thinking of? I'm trying it out today.
Old story, which I know you know, but I'd really like to see the
Region List beefed up so that it doesn't fail with large nubers of
files (it dies here with more than a few hundred files) and then
someday have some of this retiming capability in Ardour. Of course,
that's something we've talked about before so I patiently wait... ;-)
Cheers,
Mark
