Core 5. Samples per Beat using * and / modules

The multiplication and division modules are used to find the beats per second and samples per beat.

The Tempo Info primary module is used to give the tempo to the T input of the Core Cell. It gives the number of beats in one second. We set the project tempo to 240, so this will be 4.

In the core cell we get the reciprocal from the / module, which is the time in seconds of one beat (0.25 here). This time is multiplied by the sampling rate (which we can get by right-clicking on input terminal of the * module and selecting SR.R Pickup from the Standard Distribution Bus). The sampling rate is usually 44100 samples per second, thus we should get 1/4 of this number.

The beats per minute is just 60 times the beats per second, the T input value.
