Tap Tempo

How to Use Tap Tempo
Play a song or count along to a rhythm. Tap the button on each beat — the tool averages your taps and shows the tempo in BPM. After a few taps, the reading stabilizes. You can then use the "Use in Metronome" button to jump straight to the metronome with that BPM pre-loaded.
What Is BPM?
BPM stands for Beats Per Minute. It's the standard way to measure musical tempo. A song at 60 BPM has one beat per second. A fast rock song might be 140-160 BPM. Knowing the BPM helps you practice at the right speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many taps do I need for an accurate reading?
The reading becomes reliable after 4-6 taps. More taps improve accuracy. The tool uses a rolling average of recent taps.
Can I send the BPM to the metronome?
Yes. Once a stable BPM is detected, a button appears to open the metronome with that tempo pre-loaded.
