BeatCounter is a simple plugin designed to facilitate beatmatching software and turntables. It displays the current tempo in beats per minute (BPM), and an accumulated average over the last few seconds. BeatCounter is the perfect tool for DJ’s that want to integrate computer effects with turntables or a live band.

Parameters

  • The application is a plugin host that uses AU version 3 plugins. Problem 1: The plugins need to make a callback to the host sequencer to retrieve timing information. When the first plugin is loaded, it successfully retrieves the timing info. When the second plugin is loaded, it also successfully retrieves timing info.

  • A lot of work to basically do nothing. This time, we’ll add some meatier stuff — the ability to add and control VST or AU plugins into the filter graph. See other posts tagged “JUCE“ Audio Effect Plugins. A brief sidebar on what these plugins are — after writing the last post I realized that I had blown past the issue completely.
  • Most of the sample Juce code is indeed very Juce-specific, and if you're going to use that platform I'd encourage you to stick with it and push through the samples, even though they may not be very pretty. It might be useful for you to know a bit more about VST hosting outside of Juce, though.

Best Professional Vst Plugins

Nebula Setups currently supports following plugin formats: Plugin format Architecture(s) VST x86, x64 (Windows, OS X) AU (Audio Units) – legacy & Juce X64 (OS X) AAX x86, x64 (Windows, OS X) For further details and specifics about different plugin formats, see chapter 'Plugin format specifics'.

BeatCounter has the following controls available in its plugin editor window:

  • Current BPM: Shows the actual tempo in beats per minue, updated every beat.
  • Running BPM: Shows the average tempo over the last few seconds. The number of seconds used when calculating this value can be set with the “Period” knob.
  • Beat: This light will pulse with the beat. If you don’t see it flashing in time with music, then try tweaking the filter and tolerance knobs until it starts to pulse in time.
  • Reset: Press this button to recalibrate the plugin for the input source. The BPM display will briefly be reset to 0.0 and all BPM history will be erased. Other parameters will retain their settings.
  • Use Host Tempo: When activated, BeatCounter will assume that the input source is roughly equal to the sequencer’s tempo. This is most appropriate for experienced DJ’s looking to get a fine-tuned BPM display in order to match the sequencer’s tempo to this value. When activated, the minimum and maximum BPM will be forced to +/- 16BPM of the host sequencer’s current tempo.
  • Filter: Enables a lowpass filter to improve beat detection. This setting makes sense when beat-matching with electronic music, and hence is limited to at most 500 Hz. Users attempting to calculate tempo with a live drummer may find the filter too restrictive and should try disabling it for best results.
  • Tolerance: Determines how loud a beat is relative to the loudest calculated sample. For music with a prominent and loud kick (like most dance music), the default value of 75% should be sufficient. For highly compressed music with little dynamic range, a higher value should be used. When tuning this knob, pay attention to the beat light, which should pulse in time with the kick drum when correctly tuned.
  • Period: Determines how many seconds should be considered when calculating Running BPM.

Limitations

As BeatCounter was designed for beat-matching electronic dance music with a host sequencer, it performs particularly well under these settings but may not yield accurate results with other types of music. BeatCounter’s calculation algorithm assumes a 4/4 tempo, and expects either 2 or 4 beats (kick drums) to be present every bar.

So for standard techno and house tracks, BeatCounter should be quite accurate. BeatCounter has an internal range of 60-180 BPM, and it will double the BPM for slow but consistent tempos. That is, if a song is 120BPM but has a kick on every second beat (ie, on the 2/4), this would technically be 60BPM. However, BeatCounter will double this value and display 120BPM, which is correct in most cases.

This means that BeatCounter will not do well with unconventional beat patterns. A tap BPM feature would be necessary to provide tempo hints, this feature is being considered for a future version of the software.

Sending MIDI Beat Clock to Synchronize a Host

An oft-requested feature for BeatCounter is the ability to send MIDI beat clock so that a host could sync directly to this tempo. Unfortunately this is not possible with the plug-in version of BeatCounter. Although there is no technical limitation that would prohibit a host from syncing to MIDI beat clock, no sequencer actually does this. That is, all popular sequencers (including Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, and Cubase) ignore MIDI beat clock messages sent from a plugin and cannot synchronize to this.

It would however be possible to send beat clock messages from a standalone application, this is a feature that is being considered but might be limited to Mac OSX and Linux only, due to the nature of virtual MIDI devices on Windows.

Licence


The VISR Production Suite is available under the
GNU General Public License. The licence is included in the installers.

The VISR Production Suite is the first open-source set of DAW plugins for producing and reproducing object-based audio.The fundamental elements of an object-based production are:
  • Objects: audio objects are audio signals with associated metadata.
    The metadata of all the objects together form the
  • Scene: a way to represent the metadata of the set of objects, which is neutral in regard to the output audio format and system. Those information are sent to the
  • Renderer: a component that uses the scene metadata to mix the signals of the objects in order to generate the output audio signals for different types of devices (Loudspeakers, Headphones, …) and layouts ( stereo, binaural, 5.1, 7.1, 22.1, …).

We provide these elements within the VISR Plugin Suite under the form of:

Object Editor

Put this plugin on each track to transform your tracks into audio objects

Scene Master

Place this plugin in your DAW session to manipulate the whole object-based audio scene

Rendering plugins

Use these plugins to reproduce the scene on various loudspeaker layouts, sound bars, or headphones

  • Create an object-based session
  • Spatialise and control your audio objects
  • Easy binaural content creation with different sets of HRIR and BRIRs in SOFA format
  • Head tracking and head orientation compensation capabilities, suitable for VR
  • Create loudspeaker layout agnostic spatial audio content and render it for different loudspeaker systems with just one click
  • Exploit JUCE framework and the VISR, a modular open-source framework for audio processing
Please noteOne of the plugins in this Suite, the Binaural Renderer, requires Python to be installed. If you don’t need to use that plugin, choose the Standard installer. Otherwise, select the Full installer corresponding to the python version you have installed or you want to install (e.g. Mac OS X 10.9+ - Full(Python 3.7 enabled) ). Please refer to the Download section of the user-guide.
