TempoDetectorAccess finds the tempo and the bars of a song and writes them into REAPER for you.
Import an audio item, let the plugin analyse it, and you get the full list of bars: their tempo, their number of beats, their position. Everything is read and corrected from the keyboard, with a screen reader and a Braille display, without ever looking at a waveform. The detection uses a neural network trained on real music, the kind that breathes and speeds up. Three models are included: work with their average, which is the safer choice, or pick the one that suits your song best. When a bar is wrong, you fix it by ear: detect a selection again, double or halve the tempo, set the number of beats, mark a zone between two points, move a single beat by one millisecond. A metronome plays your own click sounds, follows REAPER's playback, and keeps its level when you lower the track. When the result is right, one command writes the tempo map into the project: your metronome, your grid and your quantise finally land on the music. The result can also be exported as a click track, a MIDI file or a text list. The plugin comes as a VST3 for REAPER and as a standalone application, on Windows.
Available only on Windows, as a standalone application or as VST3
