free VST and AudioUnit plugins
I wasn’t supposed to do that just before taking my vacations, but I couldn’t resist writing this thingie.
Question1: What is it and what does it?
hint: here is an audio example
Question2: what is the original sample taken from?

Livecut is based on BBCut the BreakBeat Cutting library written by Nick Collins for SuperCollider
The BBCut Library began out of work on an algorithm to simulate the automatic cutting of breakbeats in the style of early jungle or drum and bass Nick Collins.
Livecut is only a small subset of what is possible with BBCut, but as it is available as a VST plugin, it is much easier to start experimenting with it.
It is a live beat-slicer but instead of manipulating equal chunks of audio like most beatslicer do, it works on the notion of audio cuts whose length and number of repetition depends on the context and the cutting procedure. cuts are organized in blocks which then form a phrase. see Image below. And each phrase can be ended by a roll or fill.

It seems that LiveCut isn’t a very unique name so if you were after live concerts or video editing, maybe you’ll find what you were looking for on one of those 2 sites:
http://www.livecut.com/ or http://livecut.sourceforge.net/
win32 LiveCut-0.8-beta-preview.dll.zip
macosx LiveCut-0.8-beta-preview.dmg.zip
due to high user demand I’ve decided to release a beta preview of Livecut for this summer so that you can glitch when I’ll be in vacations 
There are some change I’d like to make like adding factory presets and working on the GUI, but that will be after the summer.
I’ve found the time to go further with my scanned synthesis algorithm, and it now work as a VSTi with it’s OpenGL animation on the GUI and some sliders to tweak the string thanks to Niall Moody’s VSTGL and MultiGUI classes.
soon to be released

I’ve started experimenting with scanned synthesis.
Here is a first result:
You can download this small win32 OpenGL application here to have an idea about how it works. More to come.
