BPM (Beats Per Minute) counter
Someone mentioned that the automatic bpm counters wouldn't be always
reliable and that the counting by hand is still the most accurate
method. Now, before my preconception became possibly reverted, I used
the occasion to finally program something usefull: A fault-tolerant
counter by way of keystrokes with precision estimations. You'll find
it at Google Code, have a look below.
Depending on the piece of music - it's speed and accentuation - I
already must conentrate to be able to measure with relative deviations
below 4 %. If these deviations are "normally" distributed
this mean that I'm for the majority (84 %) of all keystrokes at most 4
% too fast or too slow of the basic pulse. I. e. for a tune with 60
bpm the deviations from the ground beat are below 40 msec (40 milli
seconds). Maybe not so bad, ... I'm wondering how a drummer would
hold his own, one could establish even some sort of competion from it
;-).
