i'm building one for that purpose at the moment, but is not 100% finished now , i'll release an update this weekend(maybe even today). but! some people reported problems with abletonlive thought, wich i may not have solved at all. may also be a processor specific problem, as you need SSE to run n.Slice.
http://n.Slice.d3ck.net
n.Slice is designed to be easy and fast, not to be a full fledged sampler like others are.
however, i suggest you way a until i post the update befor you try it.
but the version you can download now shows the workflow, but cpu usage is increasing while using (a bug,wich got fixed already) it.
btw. i suggest reading the manual, its a mess of words sometimes thought.
there i also discoDSP's HighLife
http://www.kvraudio.com/get/977.html
, wich got set free recently, but i personally find it a bit more fiddly to use as a slicer, as other feature are in focus, but it has other nice features you may be intersted in.
these are the free option (n.Slice will be payware for commercial use thought, but free for fun usage) i know of, of course almost evey full fledged sampler out there is able to slice samples into pieces.
and while writing this i think i remember some other little freebees,but let some other fill this gap.

Depends on how much money you want to spend. Beat-slicing is possible in the sampler included in EnergyXT (simply demo it, the program is great and with the sampler in it just 39Euro). Then there is of course Native Instruments' Kontakt2, far more expensive, but a huge sampler if you need one, big library, and so on. As you got Ableton Live you wouldn't need the timestretch-possibilities in Kontakt2 that much.
I don't know the sampler Ableton sells additionally to Live...
Another nice option, easy and reliable and good sampler, is the one built into Orion Platinum. Was one of the first with beat-slicing, if I remember right, and works great. But here you wouldn't want to get a new host just for the sampler
. Still I mention it because demoing the samplers yourself is the best thing, would it just be to test what the different ones can do.
Beats-slicing works VERY well in GURU too, so if you're in need of a beat-box as software, that comes with a huge drum-library and is really inspiring, you could test that one too . It's a hell of an inspirational tool for my taste.
I hope others will tell you about more options, freeware-samplers that are good for you and so on.

ts main use would be for throwing together some hiphop beats and slicing them so i can play them with the trigger pads on my keyboard.
