python-beat-detector

Real-time detection of beats for audio from an input device (typically "Stereo Mix"). Outputs OSC signals, which can be used for sound-to-light control.

I use QLC+ for DMX control.

Required modules

PyAudio
PyQt4
PyQwt
matplotlib
scipy
python-osc

Usage

python beatDetector.py

Automatically listens to default audio input device.

OSC Signals

OSC signals are sent to localhost:7701, can be changed in beatDetector.py.

/beat is sent for every beat detected, or every 2nd beat when auto generating beats. Ideal for fast light change.
/bar is sent every 16 beats. Ideal for less frequent light change.
