Description:
 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,
SoundFont files, 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.

Changelog:
 This new release replaces the PortAudio and
PortMidi support with Alsa and 
alsaseq. PortAudio and PortMidi are still
supported on systems without alsa. 
As a minor feature, Freecycle now provides the
"Bark scale" for spectrogram 
plotting, which enhances the visibility of the
audio wave in the frequency 
domain. Some bugfixes and minor optimisation as
always..
