How it works
Start the song
Play the track you want to measure - on any device, speaker or instrument.
Tap along
Tap the pad, click, touch or hit any key on each beat. After 3 taps you get a tempo; more taps make it more precise.
Use it
Read the BPM, open it in the metronome, or copy the delay times for your echo and reverb settings.
How to find the BPM of a song by tapping
Tap along to any song - on a speaker, a video, a live band - and get its tempo in beats per minute. Producers also get delay and reverb times matched to the song.
Play the song
Start the music you want to measure, on any device.
Tap on the beat
Tap the big pad, click, touch, or press any key on every beat. After 3 taps you get a first BPM.
Keep tapping for accuracy
8-16 steady taps give a precise average. Live (last 5 taps) shows if you're drifting.
Use the tempo
Read the BPM and tempo marking, press Open in metronome to practise at that speed, or copy the delay times in milliseconds for your echo and reverb pre-delay.
Start over
Press Reset or Esc to measure another song.
Frequently asked questions
How many taps do I need?
Three give a first estimate; 8-16 steady taps give a precise average. The live number follows your last few taps so you can see if you're drifting.
What are the delay times for?
Producers set echo, delay and reverb pre-delay to the song's note lengths so effects sit in time. The table gives straight, dotted and triplet times for each note value.
Can it detect the tempo automatically?
For an audio file, yes - the Key & BPM Finder analyses it for you. This tapper is for anything you can hear: live music, a video, a song on another device.
Is it free?
Completely - no sign-up, no limits.
