Audio Click Track to Midi

[MarkBarl]

More of an interest than a hard need.I often work a show that uses a click track. FOH desk is Yamaha CL3. All audio is via Dante to the desk. Tracks with click are triggered on stage. I have been wondering is there is a simple way to be able to take the audio click track and generate a Midi pulse that could be taken into the desk to set the tempo for the delay., which is currently just set by tap.

I know I could take a midi time code from pro-tools and put it in, but that would require extra cabling. The click is already available on the Dante. It does not need to sync to the music i.e. latency isn't an issue, just provide the bpm for the delay.

dirty way would be to use a local out on the desk to feed the click to a relay and have the switch side of the relay back into the gpi port.

Depending on how the audio is created and whether it's straight playback, Logic has a couple of ways of deriving MIDI notes from audio tracks.

What you want is a Red Sound beat extractor. But they are no longer made. They did several looper boxes that could also do audio beat to MIDI.

The Alesis DM4/DM5 trigger-to-MIDI boxes would probably be able to do this and you can get them for next to nothing now?
