This node would take an audio input and detect the beats of the music. It could fire events in sync with the beat and/or output the tempo (beats per minute, or seconds between beats for feeding into Fire Periodically).

How about an Audio Reactor
"Beat Detection" sounds a little vague...How about an Audio Reactor node that provided some appropriate visually based UI for offering precise control for how a specific audio element (within an audio file as it played in Vuo or a live audio input coming into Vuo) generated various outputs that could be used to drive other nodes. Basically something like a realtime version of this [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HGTGUwkv9c ] The youtube vid shows it as an After Effects keyframe generator and then later as a param group integrated into specific AE effects...
@kingluma, what do you mean
kingluma, what do you mean by "audio element"? Could you give some examples?

like what's going on at this point in that youtube movie ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8HGTGUwkv9c#t=334 some sort of visual representation of the audio (like frequency spectrum bars) and a simple UI for using a specific part of that audio to generate an output - I've used this "Beat Reactor" shown in that video and it allows for pretty easily generating an output based on a specific drum from a drum kit / percussion section or a specific instrument or voice and limiting it to a recurring beat/sound etc. - even in music / sound tracks that are already mixed - also good for generating glitchy animation based on sound effects of noisy sources like distorted electrical sounds etc.
OK, gotcha. I created a
OK, gotcha. I created a new feature request for your idea (UI for using a specific part of the audio to generate an output), and clarified that the current feature request is more about detecting beats per minute.
If I'm right that this is the
If I'm right that this is the pro node in 1.2a4 it could perhaps be removed from voting ?
Thanks for the reminder,
