With Ableton Live you can trig clips of any length from midi foot pedals, midi keyboard or the computer keyboard. Triggering can be set to happen on next 1 bar, 2 bar etc (action quantize). Live can be tempo tapped if needed, but I have not tried this out personally so please download the free demo and check it out if you plan to use it that way. Long files can be prepared in Live for perfect time-stretching during tempo changes. You simply add a "time warp mark" for every second measure. This tempo reference date is save in a complementary file and will be available by Live even if you open the audio track in a different song document. Well, I think I'll stop here... ;-) Live 4 is an awesome software. Ty it out, there is a free demo available. Read the PDF manual and see if it matches your needs.
