Apparatus for detecting the number of beats

摘要

An apparatus for detecting the number of beats in that second time measuring means starts to measure time from a time point when the level of a predetermined frequency component of an input audio signal is once higher than a predetermined level and, after a predetermined period T1 elapses from the time point, the measurement of time by the second time measuring means is terminated at a time point when the level of the predetermined frequency component of the input audio signal is again higher than the predetermined level, thereby to convert a measured period T2 at termination of measuring of the second time measuring means into BPM i.e., the number of beats per predetermined unit time regarding as a unit beat.
