Tap Tempo
About the Tap Tempo
Tap along to any song, beatbox, or live performance and Audicient's Tap Tempo tool calculates your exact BPM in real time. After just 3 taps you get a reading; the more you tap the more accurate the average becomes.
The tool also shows tempo-synced delay times for common note values so you can immediately plug the numbers into your DAW or delay pedal. It resets automatically after 3 seconds of inactivity so you can re-tap without hitting Reset.
What it does
- Works with button click, touch, Space, or Enter
- Running average gets more accurate with every tap
- Auto-resets after 3 s of inactivity
- Shows tempo-synced delay times on detection
- Mobile-friendly large tap target
