hi there,
There is an application, although not LV2 or ladspa ~ it's called
"Tranches" that is designed for stuttering. It is a standalone (jack)
app, it can also be controlled via Midi. It's the best
beat-slicing/stutter plugin (in my opinion) that i have used so far,
for linux.
I don't think the newest version is available yet (which is way
cooler, i've tested it out), but the old version seems to be stable
and works nicely. It works similar to the same type of stuttering
found in the Kaoss pad.
here's the link:

I like Tranches, and its partner Tapeutape, a lot. What's the status of devel? These
apps are clean and cool.

hi Steiny,
I like Tranches, and its partner Tapeutape, a lot.
What's the status of devel? These apps are clean and cool.
Last time i checked, all that was left to do, was to get the midi-side
of things up and running in the new version of tranches. (it's useless
to me, until then). It has some really cool new features, in how you
can beat-slice as well.
The developer has added some cool stuff.
as for Tapeutape, i am not sure ~ i think the new version is very
close as well (it's pretty much the same as the old version. however,
I found a bug the other day (you just reminded me, that i should
report it!). every time i hit C5 on any channel other than ch1, the
app crashes. So, i swtiched to Specimen - as it works flawlessly and
has more features.

i was recently talking with the developer. recently meaning December 2010.
I contacted him to correct a few bugs on TapeUtape. He told me he had no
time for it as he was busy working on tranches. He wanted to finish the new
version of Tranches before doing a refactor of tapeutape.
Don't know if that still stands though...
but maybe he'll let you know, i believe he's on the list.

Hi jy,
i was recently talking with the developer. recently
meaning December 2010.
i also spoke with him sometime around then, he had said that he aiming
to have it finished by the new year. ~ but i've checked his git repo
(recently) and it's not ready yet. ( i can wait though! )
I contacted him to correct a few bugs on TapeUtape. He
told me he had no
time for it as he was busy working on tranches. He wanted to finish the new
version of Tranches before doing a refactor of tapeutape.
well, I hope he finishes tranches before TapeUtape too. As it is the
most reliable cool beat-slicing app i have found for linux ~ and
cheerz to him for that ;)
Don't know if that still stands though...
one can only hope. :)
thanks Jy,

i really prefer tapeutape over specimen/linuxsampler/terminatorx/sooperlooper, due to its
lack of visual cruft. has anyone used ecasound as a midi or osc controlled sampler?

??!??!
sooperlooper isn't the same type of sampling application as tapeutape
or specimen, at all.
Tapeutape/specimen (and linuxsampler) are samplers that map samples to
keys/midi, and can be maniputed in several ways. While Sooperlooper
does sample, as the name implies it is a looper, not a traditional
sampler - they are very dis-similar, and can't even realistically be
compared, they are different tools for different jobs.
As well, I really like tapeutape's interface, it is very straight
forward and simple to use.
However, i use Specimen because it is more powerful - having LFO's,
pitch contol (realtime), envelopes, and filters on a "per sample
basis" is extremely useful.
then let's not forget the velocity tab that allows you to specify all
of the above listed parameters to be controlled based on the velocity
of each note. for example; i can have a snare that when played softly
has a low cuf-off frequency (filter), but as i strike the snare harder
- the sound will get sharper (higher-frequency). For me, this adds so
much life to my sample banks and allows my sounds to be much more
dynamic.
one thing missing though is tapeUtape's feature that allows to specify
multiple samples based on velocity. but it's a trade-off. But when the
next version of tapeutape is out - i'll be checking it out, for sure.
as for ecasound, and terminatorX (haven't used them...yet)

i have used sooperlooper as a sample player triggered by midi, so in that sense its quite
similar. same with terminatorx (which is greatly missed; all the recent versions segfault
on various button-pushes, at least for me on arch, debian, slackware, puppy etc. its a
bummer that this great app is no longer active). but the ecasound project is active, and
its control interface is robust, which is why i thought it might do as a sample player
triggered by midi...

hey Stieny,
i have used sooperlooper as a sample player triggered
by midi, so in that sense its quite similar.
Oh, i see. an interesting approach indeed. (although possibly limiting
in how many samples can be triggered)
same with terminatorx (which is greatly missed; all the
recent versions segfault on various
button-pushes, at least for me on arch, debian, slackware, puppy etc. its a bummer that
this great >app is no longer active).
that's too bad. I never really used it before. So, i guess i'm not
missing anything. lol.
but the ecasound project is active, and its control
interface is robust, which is why i thought it might >do as a sample player triggered
by midi...
Maybe i'll have a look, sounds interesting. thanks for the info.
Myself, i use linux audio - live in a band (or jamming/practicing by myself).
My approach goes as follows;
1. I run several Vsti (through wineASIO), Specimen for my sampling
needs, Jack-jack mainly for compression and limiting (and to equalize
volume-levels between applications)
2. they are then routed into sooperlooper - so that i can quickly in
"real-time", make grooves and phrases (multi-channel of course), or
just compose music in general.
3. then sooperlooper gets routed into tranches, so i can
beat-slice/remix my music/beats.
4. and finally back into Jack-rack, to keep the levels right, before
coming to system:playback.
(this is all automated by a single script, connections and all)
this allows me to have much of the functionality of the Kaossilator,
but with much higher quality sounds - and i can program it anyway that
i want. If you are not familiar with the Kaossilator, you can check
out my Youtube video(s). - this mix gets interesting after about a
minute and a half.
(the rest are tutorials from a few years ago, when they first came out)
