Tap Tempo BPM Counter
Find the BPM of any song by tapping along — tap a key or the button on each beat to see beats per minute instantly, plus delay times in milliseconds.
How to use
- 1Play the song and tap the button (or any key) on each beat.
- 2After a few taps the BPM settles. It resets after 2 seconds without a tap.
How it's calculated
BPM = 60,000 ÷ the average milliseconds between taps. Quarter-note delay (ms) = 60,000 ÷ BPM.
Frequently asked questions
How many taps do I need?
About 8–16 taps gives a stable reading.
Why does the BPM jump around?
Uneven tapping — keep tapping and it averages out.
What are the delay times for?
Producers set echo/delay effects to the song's tempo using these millisecond values.
