I am keen to get a proper beat slicing opcode in Csound, not a live
one like BBCuts, one more like you find in a DAW. I've got a simple
slicer UDO going that just slices a loop into equally divided
segments, but to be really effective, it needs to be able to detect
where the slices are.

I'm tempted to try and make one myself, though I don't know exactly
how they work. Does anyone out there know? My guess is that they just
detect amplitude peaks,  maybe checking that the peaks last a
reasonable amount of time.

Something I've noticed though, is that there is an open source beat
slicer called Smasher, which is wrapped around Csound. It is licensed
under the LGPL. Because it is already wrapped around Csound, would
that make it easy to integrate into Csound as an opcode?

Oh wait, I suppose the BBCuts opcode might well answer my first question, lol!

"Within about 5 minutes I may as well have been at a Venetian Snares concert!"

Nice :D I'll check that out, cheers man!
