Estimate tempo by tapping along
Each tap adds a beat interval. Recent intervals are averaged so the reading settles as you keep a steady pulse.
What each setting does
- Tap button and space bar
- Each tap records a beat interval. The reading is the average of the recent intervals, so it settles as you keep a steady pulse.
- Reset
- Clears the recorded taps so the next song can be measured from zero.
- Metronome
- Plays a click at the measured tempo so the reading can be checked against the song.
- Delay conversion
- Turns the measured tempo into delay times for an effect in your DAW.
Start the music you want to measure.
