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: http://tardigrade-inc.com/index.php/En/Tranches jordan _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user

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

Hi jy, 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! ) 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 ;) one can only hope. :) thanks Jy, jordan

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) jordan
