How to use the BPM tapper

  • Play a song and tap the pad, or any key, on every beat.
  • Keep going for 10 to 20 beats for a precise result.
  • Press Play on the metronome to check the tempo against the music.

Reading the result

  • BPM averages your recent taps and follows tempo changes.
  • Overall averages every tap and is the most precise on a steady song.
  • Stability shows how evenly spaced your taps are.
  • Half and Double help if you tapped every other beat or twice per beat.

Frequently asked questions

What does BPM mean?

Beats per minute: how many beats a piece of music has in one minute.

How accurate is tap tempo?

It is as accurate as your timing, so expect to be within a beat or two. More taps and a metronome check get you closer.

Can I use the keyboard?

Yes. Any key works and Esc resets. Holding a key down counts as one tap.

When does a new measurement start?

With Auto reset on, your next tap after 2.5 seconds without tapping starts a new one. Turn it off to pause and carry on.
