Hm, my reply to munging got damaged there!
Kurzweil developed a box to do this, I think as a project after selling
his company to Young Chang. It was just such a PLL that would sync to
the drummer so that the massively overproduced garange bands could play
their music live, something that was impossible without miming the
whole act. Basically the drummer would lead the tempo (some are
notoriously bad at following a set tempo anyway), from that the software
would derive a MIDI time code and away it went to drive the sequencers.
I remember, a long time ago, playing an Electrohome home organ which
varied the beat box tempo by following the timing the player used on the
pedalboard. I was young at the time (in the 60s) and I'm not sure how
well/badly it worked. But, I do remember the owner boasting about it :)
