Hi all,<br><br>I made the following circuit in PD in an attempt to control a DAW's (FL Studio's in this case) tempo via recorded clapping or tapping (much thanks to Pedro Lopes who helped me in another thread). <br>
<br>Here's a picture of it:<br>

<br>
The only issue I'm having now is scaling the midi data/ doing the right math so the tempo I calculate in PD is the tempo that is received by my DAW. <br><br>I had an 81 bpm song that was consistently being "tapped in" at 88 bpm when I clapped along, and I suspect this has something to do with my scale divisor being about 8 in my patch. The DAW I'm working with has a scale of about 0-1000 bpm, so I simply divided 1000 by 127 in order to get ~7.87. This isn't working/isn't as accurate as it needs to be though, and I'm wondering why.<br>
<br>Any suggestions? Tips? Better ways of approaching this?<br><br>Thanks.<br>-- <br><font color="#888888">Paul Winchester<br><br>

<br>What if you already knew what tempo you were aiming for (e.g. you entered it in when you created/saved the song) and then you'd clap to set the tempo and there'd be some math to get the diff of the 2 tempos and determine it that way?<br>
