Beat detection algorithm - Script

If you like this please leave a like and don't esitate to say what you think in the comment section. Thank you.

This is not perfect, it's the best i could do with little math involved and as far as i know no real time beat detection algorithm is perfect, not even professional ones.
But you can tweek it to make it better according to your needs.

This algorithm can follow the flow of the song and change it's behavior accordingly by remembering old beats and using them as models, this way you can have a detection taylored to the song you are listening. But for this exact same reason it takes a little to adapt to the song.

This is V7, i improved the accuracy of the detection and it doesn't respond to treble anymore by default (you can still add them by editing the code in the line 213) because this way it's more precise in the bass region that's where most of the beats are.

P.S. I deleted the "simple" in the title because this is not so simple anymore lol.

I've made user properties to be able to customise this to your needs, but if you are not satisfied i've left comments in the script to guide you through an even deeper customization.

If you find bugs or ways to improve it i'd appreciate if you could let me know.
