Audio Analysis that detects the First Beat of the rythm in Music

Beginners
1

When I do Visuals it is important to me to sync animation onto the first Beat of the Rythm.
E.g. if I want to grow a sphere on the first half of a 4/4 pattern and let it shrink again on the second half of the 4/4 beat. So the minimun size is always on the First Beat and the maximum Size in the third beat of the 4/4 Pattern.

Is there a AudioAnalysis-Tool in TD who get’s ‘the one’ from itself?

Or if there’s no automatic way, is there a way to manually do it?

Hi @oonz,

this all depends a bit if this is coming from a live input or are you looking at a audio file?
Generally speaking, there is no automated way in detecting the first beat as this would require knowledge of what’s coming after.

The Beat CHOP allows to be reset by it’s first input, so you could tap this in manually.
