Tap Tempo
Tap any key or the pad in time with a track and we'll read the BPM — a rolling average that locks in fast and follows you if the tempo drifts.
Press any key or tap the pad in time. Esc resets. We average your last few taps, so keep going to sharpen the reading.
How to find a song's BPM by tapping
Play the track and tap along on the beat — the kick drum or the snare is easiest. After two taps you'll see a tempo; after a handful it settles into an accurate reading. We average the gaps between your most recent taps, so it tracks the groove instead of being dragged around by an early mistap. Stop tapping for a couple of seconds and the next tap starts a fresh measurement.
Why a rolling average
A single pair of taps is noisy — your hand is never perfectly on the beat. By averaging the last several intervals we cancel out that jitter, and the stability read-out tells you how tight your tapping is. Once you've got a number, send it straight to the metronome to practise against it, or copy the link to share the exact tempo.
