Syncing Ableton and Resolume's BPM via an audio input?

Post by corunography »

I was curious if anyone is able to sync Resolume's BPM using Ableton's Follow BPM feature. Ableton does a great job determining the BPM based on an audio input, but once I click "link" the follow feature disables.

What is the best way to sync Resolume's BPM automatically based on an input? Synesthesia outputs a BPM value via OSC. Is it possible to sync with that somehow maybe?

Any ideas? Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I figured it out! I used the Resolume Dispatcher M4L plugin to send the BPM from Ableton to Resolume. This plugin lets me use Follow Tempo and also output to Resolume simultaneously.

Why not just use Ableton Link?

Hey,
I just wanted to let you know that I wrote a small program for automatically detecting bpm from an audio input and sending the bpm to the resolume osc input.
It is super lightweight (for python) and uses the aubio processing algorithm.

Maybe this is a solution for you as well:
