OSC export of BPM as pulses

[Nackgi]

Hi,

Is there a way to export BPM clock out of Resolume with OSC? Not as a value of BPM, but as pulses or rhythmically changing values such as the BPM clock in the left side of the Resolume UI.

I'm trying to sync my TouchDesigner patches with Resolumes BPM. I tried to use the BPM value exported from Resolume to generate the pulses in TouchDesigner, but that solution wouldn't want to stay in sync.

I take Resolume's BPM out and use that as my TD's Tempo then I link Resolume's Re-Sync up to TD and that works well for me.

You can also animate a dummy parameter in Resolume and set it's animate to BPM with a beat count of 1. Then send that out as a custom OSC address in to TD and then apply a trigger or count CHOP with a trigger threshold of .1

The first method doesn't require any additional setup in Resolume other than turning on your OSC output

Sounds great! Also that dummy parameter workaround sounds like I could use it also for controlling my TD patches with Resolume's external audio FFT.

How do you connect the BPM value to the TD's tempo? I tried to test that but I couldn't find a way to connect a chop to the tempo setting.

Here's a .tox I built for ya. Just make sure Resolume is outputting OSC and set your port accordingly. Now, whenever you change your bpm in Resolume, TD will follow.

I use that parameter animation hack for a LOT of things.


In this example I just used a CHOP exec DAT. Learn to use those! They are VERY powerful tools

Oh nice!

Thank you very much.

I've used Ableton link as a similar solution.
The AbletonLink CHOP has all sorts of pulse beat parameters

Seems like my version of TD does not have that Ableton Link CHOP yet. I'll have to consider upgrading.

Arvol, how do you link your Resolume's resync to TD? I couldn't find any parameter that would "reset" the TD tempo.

I run an independent time chop and use the pulse option for the re-sync

Hey @Arvol, I have kind of the same issue. Transferred the (tapped) tempo via osc from Resolume to TD but all my modifications of the value do not seem to work out right to get the right speed for further controls in TD (e.g. ramps and all time dependent values etc.). Unfortunately your .tox dl-link do not seem to work anymore. Would you mind to reupload the file. Thanks in advance.

Best regards

That was over 3 years and a pandemic ago bud lol. No clue what was in that patch, but here's a new one that might get you sorted:

drop this tox into a "Base" and then reference the "/bpm" node for your projects tempo needs.
