Name	Type	Description
Beatoutput	Trigger	Fires once at the start of every beat.
Phaseoutput	Float	How far the current beat has come, from 0 at its start to 1 at its end.
Countoutput	Int	How many beats have passed since the start or the last reset, starting at 0.
Tempo	Float	How fast the beats come, in the chosen unit.
Unit	Enum	Whether the tempo is a number of beats per minute or the number of seconds between two beats.Choices: BPM, Seconds
Subdivision	Float	How many triggers there are per beat of the tempo.
Running	Bool	Whether the clock is running. While off, it holds still.
Reset	Trigger	Starts a new beat right away and sets the count back to 0.

Beat is a metronome. It fires a trigger on every beat, counts the beats and reports how far along the current beat is. The count starts at 0, so the first beat after a start or reset is beat 0.

The tempo can be given as beats per minute, as on a drum machine, or as the number of seconds between two beats. The subdivision multiplies it. A subdivision of 2 gives two triggers per beat, and a subdivision of 0.25 gives one trigger every four beats. Changing the tempo while the clock runs does not make the phase jump; the current beat just continues at the new speed.

While Running is off the clock pauses where it is and continues from there when it is turned on again. A reset starts a new beat that moment and fires a trigger for it.

The phase is useful on its own. Fed into a Remap with an easing curve it gives a movement that repeats in time with the beat.
