Automatic beat detection technology has seen significant advances over the last few years. The “Beat Keeper” system by Numark is now built into many of their CD players, mixers, and even the TTX turntable. Beat detection technology works by analyzing repeated low-frequency information (kick drum), and mid/high-frequency bursts (snare), to extrapolate the drum pattern and its tempo. It works best on tracks with a 4/4 time signature and a steady (repetitious) beat, especially dance music that employs a “four on the floor” kick drum pattern, more on this later. Some systems allow you to tap in the beat if the computer has miscalculated.

The ECG beat detection block is a strait forward implementation of the Pan-Tompkins algorithm. This algorithm is known for being one of the best for detecting beats with sensitivity and specificity scores higher than 99% (Pan and Tompkins 1985). In addition, it is computationally efficient and it includes noise removal steps (Jambukia, Dabhi, and Prajapati 2015).
