When it comes down to sotware you might want to check out a free
modular piece of "tracker" (don't get put off by the name, it's way
more than that) software called Jeskola Buzz.
It's old, it's free and kinda buggy, but give it a shot and see how it
feels. I think it's great personally, and there are some machines in
there (machines are synths/samplers/effects/whatever that plugin to
the main application) that do some nift granular stuff, or sample &
hold effects.
Some of those machines are good at chopping and slicing whatever input
in real time, which would be great forr IDM like effects (I think).
