Getting Effect time in bpm from sound board

So, for live performances, All our audio goes to our Behringer x32, and we run lights/ effects from our ION.

I have looked into all kinds of MIDI show control and timecode, but am wondering if it is at all possible to collect in real time the bpm of the music playing so that effect speed can be synced automatically.

I have seen the various ways of using external devices such as Enttec's DMXis, Elation's MIDIcon and Ableton Live, but I would like to continue controlling lights solely from the ION.

Is this even a thing that can be done? Do I need some sort of device or program to convert signals between the x32 and ION, or am I looking for the wrong type of thing?

  • One thing that does exist in the etc labs open source projects is a sound to light program that takes audio and lets you specify OSC command that can be fired at the ION in response to the audio and one of its options is to send the BMP to a number of effects.

    So that may achieve what you want, although you have to explicitly list all the effects to be commanded.

    The project is at github.com/.../Sound2Light
