Find the beat. Make it music.
Find a song’s BPM by tapping the beat. Use the pad, mouse, Space, Enter, or a letter or number key.
Tap four steady beats to find your tempo.
Plan a transition or set, check compatible keys, measure a loop, then turn tempo into exact production values.
Beatmatch, choose keys and plan a set without uploading a track.
Convert tempo into the timing, modulation and sample values your DAW needs.
BeatTiming timestamps each tap at input, filters isolated timing outliers, and fits a stable tempo across your recent taps. Timing calculations are supported from 15–500 BPM. A pause longer than five seconds starts a fresh measurement automatically.
For half-time readings, changing tempos and production workflows, read the tap tempo guide for DJs and producers.
For the cleanest result, tap at least four steady beats. Use ×2 or ÷2 for a half-time or double-time pulse, and press Reset before measuring a different track.
Four taps is enough for a useful estimate. Eight or more steady taps usually produces a more stable reading. Reset before switching to a different track.
Yes. Press Space, Enter, or a letter or number. Navigation, arrow and function keys are ignored so they do not create accidental taps.
You may be following a different rhythmic subdivision. The ÷2 and ×2 controls correct it instantly.
No. Everything is calculated from your taps in your browser. No microphone, upload, account or tracking is required to calculate BPM.
