final case class BeatTrack2(bus: GE, numChannels: GE, winSize: GE = 2, phaseSpacing: GE = 0.02f, lock: GE = 0, weighting: GE = -2.1f) extends MultiOut with ControlRated with IsIndividual with Product with Serializable

A template matching beat tracker UGen. This beat tracker is based on exhaustively testing particular template patterns against feature streams; the testing takes place every 0.5 seconds. The two basic templates are a straight (groove=0) and a swung triplet (groove=1) pattern of 16th notes; this pattern is tried out at scaling factors corresponding to the tempi from 60 to 180 bpm. This is the cross-correlation method of beat tracking. A majority vote is taken on the best tempo detected, but this must be confirmed by a consistency check after a phase estimate. Such a consistency check helps to avoid wild fluctuating estimates, but is at the expense of an additional half second delay. The latency of the beat tracker with default settings is thus at least 2.5 seconds; because of block-based amortisation of calculation, it is actually around 2.8 seconds latency for a 2.0 second temporal window.

This beat tracker is designed to be flexible for user needs; you can try out different window sizes, tempo weights and combinations of features. However, there are no guarantees on stability and effectiveness, and you will need to explore such parameters for a particular situation.

The UGen has six outputs corresponding to beat-tick, eighth-tick, groove-tick, tempo, phase, and groove. Warning: it reads from input control bus instead of taking a regular control input signal as its first argument!

bus

index of a control bus to read from. the number of channels of that bus are expected to match the numChannels argument. To track a particular audio signal, analyse it first into numChannels features, that is onset-detection-triggers, as generated by Onsets , and write the trigger-output to this control bus.

numChannels

(scalar) How many features (ie how many control bus channels) are provided (init-time only)

winSize

(scalar) Size of the temporal window desired (2.0 to 3.0 seconds models the human temporal window). You might use longer values for stability of estimate at the expense of reactiveness.

phaseSpacing

(scalar) Relates to how many different phases to test. At the default of 0.02 seconds, 50 different phases spaced by those 0.02 seconds would be tried out for 60bpm; 16 would be trialed for 180 bpm. Larger phaseSpacing means more tests and more CPU cost.

lock

If this argument is greater than 0.5, the tracker will lock at its current periodicity and continue from the current phase. Whilst it updates the model's phase and period, this is not reflected in the output until lock goes back below 0.5. Can be control-rate modulated.

weighting

(scalar) Use (-2.5) for flat weighting of tempi, (-1.5) for compensation weighting based on the number of events tested (because different periods allow different numbers of events within the temporal window). If an integer from 0 upwards is given, this is specifying the id of a buffer containing 120 frames which represent individual tempo weights; tempi go from 60 to 179 bpm in steps of one bpm, so you make sure the buffer has 120 frames.
