Syncs per beat
list
The number of sync signals sent per beat. If we consider a standard 120 BPM is 120 beats per minute, in muscial terms we may want to send a sync signal every quarter beat (this would be a standard 4/4 time signature). To send a sync every quarter beat, set the 'syncs per beat' option to 4 (four syncs per beat).
Description
This module will produce beat-encoded sync frames at a specific beats-per-minute. Designed for music-related modules (such as ModularSynth.SimpleSequencer), the BPM generator may also be useful where a bespoke frame rate is required for a specific reason. The outgoing sync frames are encoded with an advancing beat number, meaning downstream devices know which beat they are being sent and, if necessary, position themselves accordingly in a specific playback position.
