Real-time Beat-tracker for Live Performance with Drums
نویسندگان
چکیده
B-Keeper is a real-time beat-tracker for live performance with drums. The system maintains synchronisation between a software sequencer and a drummer by analysing onsets form the kick drum andmaking small tempo changes. This system enables the sequencing of computer generated parts in time with the drums and provides a structure for real-time analysis for the purpose of integrating computers further into live performance.

Audio Effects for Real-Time Performance Using Beat Tracking
We present a new class of digital audio effects which can automatically relate parameter values to the tempo of a musical input in real-time. Using a beat tracking system as the front end, we demonstrate a tempo-dependent delay effect and a set of beat-synchronous low frequency oscillator (LFO) effects including auto-wah, tremolo and vibrato. The effects show better performance than might be ex...
متن کاملReal-time Beat-synchronous Analysis of Musical Audio
In this paper we present a model for beat-synchronous analysis of musical audio signals. Introducing a real-time beat tracking model with performance comparable to offline techniques, we discuss its application to the analysis of musical performances segmented by beat. We discuss the various design choices for beat-synchronous analysis and their implications for real-time implementations before...
متن کاملAn Audio-based Real-time Beat Tracking System and Its Applications
This paper describes a real-time beat tracking system that recognizes a rhythmic structure in real-world audio signals sampled from popular-music compact discs. Most previous beat-tracking systems dealt with MIDI signals and had difficulty in processing, in real time, audio signals containing sounds of various instruments and in tracking beats above the quarter-note level. Our system can proces...
متن کاملAn Online Tempo Tracker for Automatic Accompaniment Based on Audio-to-audio Alignment and Beat Tracking
We approach a specific scenario in real-time performance following for automatic accompaniment, where a relative tempo value is derived from the deviation between a live target performance and a stored reference, to drive the playback speed of an accompaniment track. We introduce a system which combines an online alignment process with a beat tracker. The former aligns the target performance to...
متن کاملA Turing Test for B-Keeper: Evaluating an Interactive Real-Time Beat-Tracker
Off-line beat trackers are often compared to human tappers who provide a ground truth against which they can be judged. In order to evaluate a real-time beat tracker, we have taken the paradigm of the ‘Turing Test’ in which an interrogator is asked to distinguish between human and machine. A drummer plays in succession with an interactive accompaniment that has one of three possible tempocontro...
