 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.
