Which Beat Detective modes are capable of working with MIDI?

• A. All five modes
• B. The groove template extraction is the only MIDI-capable mode
• C. Only the first two modes
• D. None of the modes support MIDI

Answer: (C)

Beat Detective’s ability to work with MIDI relies on producing a timing reference that MIDI can follow, such as a groove template or tempo map. MIDI isn’t audio, so you need a representation of timing from the audio to guide MIDI timing. The groove template extraction mode is designed to capture the rhythmic feel of the audio and create a groove template you can apply to MIDI, which is why it is MIDI-capable. The other mode among the first two also provides a timing reference usable by MIDI, so those two are the MIDI-capable options. The remaining modes focus on analyzing or editing audio timing and don’t generate MIDI timing data, so they don’t support MIDI.
