Tap Tempo – BPM Counter
Tap along with the music, on the big button, the screen or any key, and the BPM appears after a few taps. The more you tap, the more precise it gets. The page also gives the length of a beat and the delay times of each note value, normal, dotted and triplet.
Delay times (ms)
| Note | Normal | Dotted | Triplet |
|---|
How to use it
- Play the song and tap on each beat, at least eight times.
- Read the BPM; stop for two seconds to start a new count.
- Use the table of delay times to set echo and reverb in your music software.
Frequently asked questions
How many taps do I need?
Two taps give a first value, but eight or more give a stable result. The page fits a straight line through your last 16 taps, so one early or late tap does not ruin the result.
What BPM is a song usually?
Ballads are often between 60 and 80 BPM, pop between 100 and 130, house around 120 to 128, drum and bass around 170. If the result looks double or half of what you expected, you were tapping every half or every second beat.
How are the delay times calculated?
A quarter note lasts 60,000 divided by the BPM, in milliseconds. A dotted note is 1.5 times longer and a triplet is two thirds of the normal value.
