Looking at the eyesy api I don’t see a way for it to have an awareness of the clock tempo or start/stop… Is that because there’s no way for it to know about those things? Or do I have to be CLEVER to get access to them?
I’d really like to be able to use the tempo as a way to control the speed of effects and movements etc (e.g. when the machine receives a mini-note, it draws a circle for 8 beats’ worth of time)
If you set the trigger input (using the shift key) to a MIDI clock division (like 1/4 note), the variable etc.audio_trig will get set to true for each 1/4 note.
The BPM value is not available, you would have to time how long a 1/4 note is, or several of them and average.
would be nice if the midi input could handle the incoming tempo stuff somehow instead of having to eat up the audio in. i want to do stuff like have a tempo coming in the midi in and also have audio coming in so those 2 can interact how i want if that makes sense
