BPMjs

A small javascript library to ease the pain of working with musical signatures and BPM.

Usage

Initialization

  1. bpm.init()

    var options = {
        bpm: 65, // default value: 120
        signature: [6, 8] // default: `[4,4]` as for a 4/4 time signature
        onTick: function(){}, // default: `undefined`
        onBarTick: function(){}, // default: `undefined`
    }
    var bpmObject = bpm.init(options);
  2. Add some callbacks

    bpmObject.onTick(function(position){
        // position is an object to know where the playing position is
        // ex: {tick: 2, bar: 4}
        console.log('called on every tick', position);
    });
    bpmObject.onBarTick(function(position){
        console.log('called on bar crossed', position);
    });

Control over the playing/stop etc.

// start ticking
bpmObject.play();
// pause playing
bpmObject.pause();
// stop playing (resets position to 0:0)
bpmObject.stop();

Get some information

bpmObject.isPlaying(); // true|false
bpmObject.isPaused(); // true|false
bpmObject.getPosition(); // {tick: 2, bar: 3}
