Download Ableton Free, and chop it there, then import into Reaper.
Well, it's not about "chopping" per say, it's more about looping at different points of the sample (choppy sound) as you can see in the video? I do have Live but I really dislike working on it!
In ReaSamplomatic "Sample start offset" is a paramater which could be modulated by Reaper's parameter modulation, that should do it I guess?
I tried a quick version of this and it seems to work as expected. Put a JS arpeggiator, Sequencer Baby/Megababy or something similar just before the ReaSamplomatic. Just make sure to tick the "Obey note-offs" check box.
Also, the example video reminds me of a song a "wrote" many years ago that used NI Reaktor's Travelizer (if I'm remembering correctly) which is a wave-scanner synth/effect. It was a very cool effect. I'm not sure if that synth/effect is available in the free or intro versions of Reaktor. But if you can, you should check it out. Very powerful stuff.

THANK YOU! I didn't know you could modulate the "Sample start offset" with an LFO!
I have to try it again, but I was messing with modulating start (and end) time in RS5K, and got pretty nasty glitching and popping if the start time changed while the sample was playing. With a free running, continuous LFO, it’s pretty much always changing, so that’s kind of not the best way to do it.

Even with continuous LFO shapes such as sine or triangle?

Yes. Moving the start while playing will produce some glitching. It may work for you - if you want a glitchy sound. Square might even be less glitchy - since with tempo sync you can get changes to fall at the note start / end (or between notes)

That will help a lot. In fact I need it for many other reasons. I know such things are out there, but it’s not on my computer because I’m a lazy dick... thanks for the link!
Yes you can do it in Reaper with exactly the same way. All you need is 3 plugins, js midi arpeggiator (or to draw 16th notes in midi editor), rearack lfo to modulate the start position(because it has a stepped random shape and parameter modulation doesn't) and Rs5000 with attack, sustain and release fully closed to get that gate effect by adjusting the decay.
I prepared a quick video to show the exact steps.
Cool. And if the fearsome clicking bothers you, fiddle with the attack / release on ReaSamplomatic
Yes the attack can give you some random reverse if you modulate it also with same random lfo from rearack.
Another neat trick is to load a bunch of your samples in the list of Rs5k, these samples can be played individually if you adjust the note velocity. Different velocity values will playback a different sample from the list, which kind of gives you the feeling of multisampling. (You can see which sample is playing from the list if you look in the sampler the numbers above the list)
So If you draw some notes and randomize their velocities, the sample order from the list will change too and they will be played in random order just by one sampler instance. Then again if you automate the start position, it will randomize the sample order and their start position on given time. Here how it will sound.
Also for glitch/stutter beats, you can set the loop on and modulate the length/end position. Each time it reach the start position, depending on the distance between start/end, it will produce a loop on various length, given that you modulate both start/end points.

Thanks for this demonstrative videos! i was looking for someting like this a few weeks ago, im glad i came across your post! the creative possibilities are endless!
I know i come a bit late on this thread but thanks again!
Any way to do this on Reaper? Sample chopping Ableton style
Linear Mode
