I am looking for a patch that could identify a certain (programmable) rhythmic cell inside a stream of attacks. The input needn't be audio because I can use bonk~ to convert the attacks to Bangs.

Any clue?

A state machine where transitions are time periods since the last beat and terminal nodes are identified rhythmic patterns.

Should be fun to do in Pd using nodes made of [del] [timer] and [moses]

Research finite state pattern recognition.

Although I have no idea what state machines are, I have built something that, after reading a bit on the net, I think works along the general direction.
As I am far from being a programmer, any comments would be welcome.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, very good approach IMO, but I can´t see the patch runing because it can't find Rhythm_rec object (it is in the "detector" subpatch).

Do you know where can I find it?
