Real-time beat detection and tempo synchronization engine. Bayesian multi-hypothesis tempo estimation with a 10-second confirmation gate, Ableton Link integration, audio-reactive border particles, spectral ring system, and always-running beat step display — designed as an integrated dashboard module for live performance.
Multi-hypothesis Bayesian estimator that tracks tempo probability across a wide BPM range. Converges fast, resists false transients, and adapts to tempo changes in real time. Confidence-weighted — green for locked, orange for tracking, red for lost.
When a new tempo is detected, it enters a 10-second pending state shown in gray. The engine must hold the new tempo consistently for 10 full seconds before it becomes the locked BPM. This prevents false tempo jumps from transient audio events — rock solid for live shows.
Two-way Ableton Link integration. Lock to an existing Link session or broadcast your detected tempo to the network. Phase alignment ensures your beat grid lines up perfectly with DJ software, DAWs, and any Link-enabled hardware on the same network.
Three concentric orbital rings pulse and breathe with every detected beat. Each ring layer responds to different spectral bands from the audio input. The Sp3kTr4L logo sits at the center with musical intensity bounce — scaling and floating with smoothed RMS energy.
Audio-reactive particles travel along the module border edges, colored by spectral frequency bands. Particles spawn on beats, energy deltas, and ambient RMS. They wrap around corners with velocity influenced by audio intensity — a living contour that reacts to every sound.
The 4-step beat display never freezes — even when confidence drops, the steps keep cycling at the last locked tempo. Downbeats are highlighted with a pulse effect. Tap tempo and downbeat reset (|1) buttons provide manual override when auto-detection needs a nudge. Tempo recall with ÷2 and ×2 buttons.
