I have this CD with 'smart loops', full of short music samples (just
on hit or short patterns/riffs, wav format), it says it works with
various music programs (AFAIK none of them available for linux).
How exactly are these samples smart? I mean does it mean anything or
is it just some marketing buzzword? Which linux program can work with
them? Any sampler? Or is there anything special about them that some
programs can use?
(there's also a company http://www.smartloops.com but they just say
they sell loops, no other info)
TIA

I have this CD with 'smart loops', full of
short music
samples (just on hit or short patterns/riffs, wav format),
it says it works with various music programs (AFAIK none of
them available for linux).
If it is wav, you can use it in various programs like MuSE,
maybe Rosegarden (if it supports audio?) or even Ardour.

Half and half. Sample libraries are usually taken at exactly
the same speed (maybe 120BPM) and cut so you can easily loop
them or assemble them on consecutive bars of an arrangement.
So, the samples are well prepared which needs some work, but
as soon as you buy a sample library this should be part of
the product.
Which linux
program can work with them? Any sampler? Or is there
anything special about them that some programs can use?
If it is wav, no. It should also be possible to use the files
as a base for samples, but personally I dislike to press a
key on my keyboard and get a complete riff played.

I think what makes them smart is that they know their tempo and their
key, so if you place them on a sequencer that can interpret this kind of
information (like Acid or Sonar), the loop will adjust in tempo and key
automatically.

hmmm... any programs like that for linux? (I mean that would use the
pitch/tempo information, I know there are samplers...)
