1) my experience, as i mentioned before, is that the GUI for complex
audio+MIDI applications, is at least 2/3 of the code, and at least
that much of the effort. since its unlikely that xrazor was written
using any kind of cross-platform toolkit, porting such a beast (if
the code was available) would be a difficult undertaking. the
"insides" of such programs are relatively easy to write.
2) depending on what you mean by a beat slicer, i'd very much like
to add this functionality to ardour. we already have regions,
and can export regions to audio files. a framework for sample dumps
and MIDI note maps would be needed.
