Freecycle: A Beat Slicer

Post by studio32 »

Plastic surgery for your audio loops...

Freecycle Introduction

Freecycle is a beat slicer running on GNU/Linux platform using the QT toolkit, providing amplitude domain and frequency domain beat matching / zero crossing algorithms.

It exports sliced audio chunks and generates a MIDI file which can be used to play the sliced loop, or you can jam with it as soon as you've made slices using a midi keyboard or sequencer.

Freecycle also exports AKAI S5000/S6000/Z4/Z8 .AKP files to be used with your favorite sampler, and supports slice drag and drop from the application to the desktop.

It can process the audio inline using LADSPA effects, as well as applying envelopes to seperate slices.
