tempo detection?

ive been using contact mics on drums to trigger various sounds.

im wondering if it would be possible to detect the frequency (tempo) of incoming signals which could then effect a clock generator to create timed repetitions of a sound / sequence.

any ideas?

Some ideas for tap tempo patches, maybe there is something useful in it :

(used ["nord modular" "tap tempo" -g2 -"nord wave"] for googling, there should be more on this, Kess van der Maarel made something as well I tink)

here you go:

Simply replace the "keyboard module" by an envelop follower link to your audio output. Take the output of the Envelop follower, link it to a " compare level" module with a value set to 1. Link it to the pulse module.
