The discussions about MIDI recording re-ignited an old interest of mine. Perhaps it was covering the ring this morning. I scertainly got metronomic
Extracted a beat from a performance.
A Phase Locked loop if you will that could set the overall clock beat of the zynthian and thereby sync the various components of the system.
Has anyone experience of such a component and any observations on tap tempos and other such issues? Would the ability to express a tempo as crochets & quavers or even triplets have a relevance and how, ultimately would you time lock recording to this for reliable playback?
Regarding beat detection, I just digged the following link from my bookmarks: Beat This > Beat Detection Algorithm
I was looking on some methods a few years ago and tested some in Matlab. There are many different algorithms, probably also some machine learning stuff from recent years (compared to the link I sent which build upon traditional signal processing). How well do they work? Well, probably also depends on the songs/material you use them. I think there are some libraries out there, having this functionality
