Tap the button or press any key to measure tempo in beats per minute. Works instantly in your browser — no install needed.
BPM stands for Beats Per Minute — the standard unit used to measure musical tempo. A higher BPM means a faster track; a lower BPM means a slower, more relaxed feel. Every genre has its characteristic BPM range, and matching tempo is critical when DJing, beatmatching samples, or syncing plugins and effects like delays and LFOs to a track's groove.
Use this tap tempo tool whenever you need to quickly identify the BPM of a song playing in your head, a record you're sampling, or a reference track you want to match in your DAW session.
