Record a set log and use the display

Log the night's tempos as CSV, one line per track, and put the number on a fullscreen monitor for FOH or the stage.

The set log

The set log records the night as one line per tempo. While TempoSense is locked it takes one sample per second; a track change opens a new segment once a different tempo (more than 3 % away) has held for three seconds, otherwise the running segment absorbs the sample and refines its average.

  1. Press ▶ Start listening and let it lock.
  2. In Set log, press ● Record. The header shows recording · n with the number of segments so far.
  3. Play the set. Press ■ Stop recording at the end.
  4. Export CSV downloads the file. Clear empties the log (after asking).

The CSV has these columns: segment, start, end, duration_s, bpm, div2, div4, div8, mode, started_at. Start and end are h:mm:ss since the recording began; div2, div4 and div8 are the ÷2 / ÷4 / ÷8 values; mode is the detector that was active (or held); started_at is when that segment began, as an ISO timestamp. With the tool in German or Spanish the file uses ; between columns and a decimal comma, so it opens straight in Excel there.

A segment starts one second after the last reading of the previous tempo — not when the new tempo was confirmed — so the boundaries sit where the song changed.

Only the log of tempos is stored — never audio. Nothing is uploaded.

The fullscreen display

Display ⛶ puts the big number, the ÷2 / ÷4 / ÷8 row, the beat dot and the bar dots on a black screen — for a FOH monitor, a stage screen or a second display. It uses the browser's fullscreen where available and shows the same status tag (live, held, drifting) as the main screen.

Close it with the ✕ in the corner or Esc. Detection keeps running underneath, so Hold, ½× / 2× and MIDI output all stay in effect.

On a phone

Detection, layers, delay table, set log and display all work on the phone's built-in mic. iOS exposes one audio input; a USB interface becomes the default input while it is connected. MIDI output needs a laptop with Chrome, Edge or Firefox — see Send the tempo to Ableton or LiveProfessor.
