LiveCut Enhanced – Free 64-bit VST Beat-Slicer Plugin for Windows

A modern 64-bit Windows build of Livecut, the classic beat-slicer originally created in 2004 by Remy Muller (mdsp), based on Nick Collins' BBCut algorithm, now with a tweaked DSP core and a new GUI.

Want to understand the controls? Click the ? in the top-right corner, then hover over any control to see what it does.

Tweaks in the DSP engine

Before:

Livecut only started a new rhythmic "phrase" on a bar line. Loop a region shorter than a bar, or one that didn't contain a downbeat, and the engine could get stuck, going silent (or never starting) until you stopped and restarted playback.

The fix:

The engine now detects the playhead jump that happens at a loop's wrap point and uses that as the cue to start a fresh phrase immediately, downbeat or not.

What it means for you:

Short loops keep cutting indefinitely, off-downbeat loops actually produce sound, and you never need to stop/restart playback to "wake" the plugin.
