BPM Counter
Tap along to any song, on the pad or on your keyboard, and read its tempo in beats per minute. See the Italian tempo marking, get delay and LFO times in milliseconds for every note value, and start a metronome at the tapped tempo. No app to install and no account to create.
Tap tempo
120BPM
120.0 BPM
500 ms per beat
Any key taps too. Tap at least four beats for a steady reading. A pause of two seconds starts a new count, Escape resets.
Metronome
BPM
Beats per bar
The first beat of each bar is accented. Tapping while the metronome runs retunes it to your tempo. Hear nothing on an iPhone? Check the ring/silent switch.
Delay and LFO times
| Note | Straight | Dotted | Triplet |
|---|
One beat is 60000 divided by the BPM in milliseconds. Dotted notes are one and a half times as long, triplets two thirds. Use the values for tempo-synced delays, reverb pre-delay or LFO rates.
