Real-time detection of beats with Python from an audio input device (typically "Stereo Mix"). Outputs OSC signals, to be used for sound-to-light control.
It keeps track of the music "intensity" (calm, normal, intense) to switch lighting programs.
I use QLC+ for DMX control.
- PyAudio
- PyQt5
- PyQwt
- matplotlib
- scipy
- python-osc
python beatDetector.py
OSC signals are sent to localhost:7701, can be changed in beatDetector.py.
/beatis sent for every beat detected./baris sent every to change the lighting scene./prog1-/prog8is sent to change lighting programs (available have to be configured inbeatDetector.py)
Thanks for your interest in contributing to this project! Glad you like it 😊
I typically do not accept contributions to this project, as I've built this for myself and it just works fine for me the way it is. The project isn't intended to work for anyone but myself. I've put it onto GitHub in case someone finds this useful. So if you need changes, feel free to fork the repository and modify it for your own needs.
If you have an idea that you believe is worth integrating, please reach out first. I don't want you to work on things that I wouldn't merge.
Based on shunfu/python-beat-detector.
