Live tempo tracker

Cubase
1

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to use my stomp (a “kick” I play on every beat with my foot) as the real‑time tempo / MIDI Clock source in Cubase or VST Live.

Concretely:

  • I play live with a stomp box acting like a kick drum on every beat (1–2–3–4), like a bass drum.

  • I would like this stomp to be the tempo reference: each foot hit represents the global tempo.

  • The idea is that Cubase / VST Live locks to this tempo, and that

    • arpeggiators,

    • tempo‑synced delays,

    • LFOs / synced modulations
      all follow the clock derived from this stomp.

My questions:

  1. Is there any way for Cubase or VST Live to sync in real time to a stomp audio signal (kick on every beat) and derive a reliable MIDI Clock or project tempo from it?

    • For example via a real‑time tempo tracker or any internal tool that can follow a percussive audio signal?

  2. If this is not possible directly, is there any VST / VST3 plugin that can:

    • listen to this stomp as audio,

    • detect / follow the tempo in real time,

    • and send this tempo (or a clock) back to Cubase / VST Live or to other plugins (arpeggiators, delays, etc.)?

  3. Can Cubase / VST Live run as a slave to an external MIDI Clock, and if so, is there any way to convert this stomp audio → MIDI Clock using a plugin or some intermediate solution?

My goal is:

  • Not to impose a fixed tempo from the computer,

  • but instead to let the tempo come from my foot (stomp kick) and have the whole environment (Cubase / VST Live + VST instruments/effects) follow this tempo, especially arpeggiators and tempo‑synced effects.

Thanks in advance for any ideas, experiences, or configuration examples (Cubase or VST Live).
