yah but the idea would work with any modular environment.  so you could look at how its done and use it elsewhere if you were crafty.

Btw that thing I showed infradead only works to sync to micromod, it wont help you generate midi clock or anything.

Tap tempo seems to be the most reliable for me. My EMX 'auto-bpm' jumps all over the place with anything but 4/4 dance music... it's quite fun and easy adding breaks over top of jumpstyle with it.

Heh, thanks Jonny

Yep, I'm aware of plenty of tapping solutions, I just wondered if there's something that you can just kind of leave running and will be constantly trying to sync to an incoming signal based on beat detection.

Can't be *that* hard can it?

@little-scale - thanks, I'll have a look at that

best bet is goign to be to isolate the low frequencies.. find a common bass range for kick drums and take the average off the peak wave form threshold.

he's asking for a way to sync automatically in real time from audio input... not for a tap tempo function. lots of things have tap tempo and i'm sure he's aware of this

this, but in Live. It's never completely accurate, but can get pretty close.

herr_prof showed me a away to do this in a Nord Modular, i lost the link though.

I made a patch to sync DS-10 to Live using a steady beat etc.

Could be what you're looking for maybe.

ignore me. yes.

I ALWAYS forget to do that

i usually just tap my finger on my mini kaosspad. lol

Software preferably. I'd read about the EMX funnily enough - looks like a nice bit of kit but overkill for what I want.

The Max route could be interesting. I keep loading Max but end up staring at it for hours then quitting it with a headache...

i'm sure it could be done in ableton with max for live... i don't know if there's other ways of doing it though.

software or hardware? I know the korg EMX can but it heavily relies on a steady beat
