Example

/**
  * This sketch demonstrates how to use the BeatDetect object song SOUND_ENERGY mode.<br />
  * You must call <code>detect</code> every frame and then you can use <code>isOnset</code>
  * to track the beat of the music.
  * <p>
  * This sketch plays an entire song, so it may be a little slow to load.
