Candidate -- maybe but far from being ready for its exams. In a first

try it did not find the BPM of 3 simple drumloops (4/4 120) in a row and

crashed loading a WAV-file that never gave me any headaches before.
Unfortunately all attempts here to do anything near the tricks shown in

the video ended similar:
- sooperlooper came near regarding working with sampled loops but too

much must be done by hand and it did not work stable and it did not

cooperate well with my MIDI-Controller(Behringer-U-control-keyboard,

works perfectly well with Ardour,Guitarix, AMS and others). It allowed

the controller-knobs to set stretching to absurd low values causing

hundreds of xruns. It also crashed seldom but erratically thus I never

ever would use it live.
- qtractor is not made for tricks like these but maybe one could use it

to trigger Samples that are played on individual tracks in a loop. It

even adapts samples if the BPM changes and has lots of other cool

features like MIDI-tracks, plugins and a real mixer.

One could let the loop run and trigger the idividual samples using

mute/solo and do a lot of impressive stuff remote-controlling

plugin-parameters.

This did not work out so well for me since I failed to make qtractor

work with my controller as intended. It appeared quite enigmatic to me

how one would map a Key  to mute/solo on an individual mixer-track. But

basically it seem to work so there is hope to see MIDI-learn as known

from Ardour in it...
- Ardour3 would be my best bet to come near but of course is also not

build for the stuff that ALive is optimized to do. I see if  find the

time to give LMMS a try too...
Building something modular based on seq24 could be worth the try

also(did a gig with it some 2 years ago but in a set with a drummer and

playing guitar live so seq24 only had to trigger some samples in

specimen and a pianosound in ams - by far not as complex as seen in the

video)
My conclusion: as of now I would not know, how to do the tricks seen in

the video under linux...
