About
Allegro Project
Allegro Project is more than a tool — it's a vision to revolutionize how we understand and interact with music tempo. From humble beginnings to ambitious goals.
The Vision
Allegro Project exists to showcase the capabilities of the realtime-bpm-analyzer library and rally support for building the next generation of BPM analysis tools. We envision a comprehensive ecosystem where:
Browser extensions detect BPM anywhere on the web
AI models provide superior accuracy beyond basic algorithms
YouTube integration creates harmonic playlists automatically
Collaborative databases share knowledge across the community
Where We Are Today
The foundation is solid, but it's only the beginning
What We've Accomplished
The realtime-bpm-analyzer library is functional and proven:
- ✓Open-source npm library with real-time capabilities
- ✓Works in browsers using Web Audio API
- ✓Supports files, streams, and microphone input
- ✓Free demo application for testing
- ✓Growing community of users
Current Limitations
Amplitude thresholding works, but has inherent constraints:
- •Struggles with complex polyrhythmic music
- •Less accurate with varying dynamics
- •Can misidentify tempo multiples (half/double BPM)
- •No browser extension yet
- •Missing collaborative features
The Challenge
Building advanced features requires significant time, energy, and resources:
Development Time
Browser extensions, AI models, and infrastructure each require hundreds of hours
Specialized Skills
ML expertise, browser API knowledge, and backend infrastructure experience needed
Financial Resources
Computing power for training, server hosting, and dedicated development time
What Makes This Possible
Built on powerful web technologies that enable real-time audio analysis in your browser
Web Audio API
Leveraging the powerful Web Audio API for low-latency audio processing and real-time analysis capabilities directly in the browser.
Open Source
Fully open-source and transparent. Browse the code, contribute improvements, and help shape the future of BPM analysis.
