Description

Ableton Link is a network protocol for communicating musical timing information. It would be great to bypass projectM's built in beat analysis DSP with Ableton Link to facilitate integration with other audio and video applications. Note that the Link library is licensed GPLv2+.

Research direction

The issue names no project files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating projectM's built-in beat analysis DSP and review Ableton Link's integration requirements; done means Link timing can replace or bypass that analysis while preserving compatibility with other audio and video applications and respecting the GPLv2+ license.
