First off, I'm really interested in 'slicing' up samples with PD (beat/transient detection) and rearranging them....
Is there an object or abstraction that I should be using to achieve this? Does anyone have any patches that they'd like to share relating to this?
Thanks!

Hi Jared! It's not PD, but there's a tool being worked on by some of the computer music and electrical engineering folks at Columbia University that you might want to check out. It's called MEAPsoft (http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/meapsoft/). It takes an input wave file and slices it up into events, then gives you lots of options for extracting info about them and re-arranging them. It also stores all it's data in text files, so you can process them in whatever language you want (PD, perl, whatever).
enjoy your PD-ing!
