I just stumbled on Phutboyslim, a simpel but very effective retrigger/beat-repeat/stutter effect. The maker's website has been dead for a while now, but there's a German guy still hosting it on his box-account.
You can trigger it through midi, using a Midi Out and setting up corresponding ports on the Midi Out and the plugin's (wrapper-)settings. Can also be played live. Apart from Midi, the plugin is also automatable (through 'Tools>Last Tweaked>create automation clip')
This version also has forward/reverse/pingpong options, although I think they are not automatable (?). But stacking two and using 1 forward and 1 reverse is possible using different midi-ports. Very low CPU, so no problem there.
You know the loop-effects on a Pioneer CD player? Think that, but better. The Gui even shows a turntable

Very Fun plugin!!
What the hell, I'll attach it here. It's been freeware since ever and there is no owner anymore. That's ok, yes?
EDIT: Since it's freeware turned orphanware and the owner has apparently stopped, perhaps Image Line can track him down and incorporate it as a fruity effect
