Hey all..

I’m interested in finding a way to adjust the bpm of any given input sound using two sensors and an arudino + max. Ideally I would like to first determine the BPM of the incoming sound, then based on a threshold (i.e. when the bpm determined by the sensor-based data reaches a certain point), the sensors would provide a bpm that the patch would automatically adjust the track to in real-time.

I’m working on a simple prototype first, but the idea would be the sensors could be placed in ones shoes and wirelessly transmit data that would then be processed as bpm data…and would auto-adjust the tempo of whatever the person were listening to to match one’s pace.

I’ve considered trying to set this up simply with a midi-based dj program that has this feature built into the software, or perhaps working with Ableton + Max.. but I’m slightly stuck on beginning the project..

Thoughts??
