LiveLab.dk has released LiveSlice, a new loop-slicer / arranger / granulator VSTi for Windows.

• Automatic or manual slicing.

• Up to 32 tracks, 64 loops, 256 slices.
• Host sync.
• Integrated loop browser with preview.
• Full MIDI control.
• Resizable GUI.
• Up to 8 outputs with individual slice routing.
• Loads all uncompressed .wav formats.
• Supports any sample rate.
