Tempo, measured by hand
Tap in time with a song, loop, beat, or sample. Four taps begin the reading; continuing across a phrase gives the average enough timing information to become useful.
Live BPM follows your most recent interval. Average BPM smooths small differences between taps, while the stability score shows whether your timing has settled.
A groove can be felt at two related tempos. Use divide by 2 when the reading feels twice as fast as the pulse, or ×2 when it feels half as fast.
Copy the stable average into a DAW, metronome, sample label, music brief, or a Music2Video project. The tool works in the browser without an upload or account.
