How It Works

Tap Tempo: Tap the button or press spacebar in time with the music to calculate the BPM. The more taps you make, the more accurate the result.

BPM Converter: Enter a BPM value to see the duration of beats and notes in milliseconds. Useful for setting delay times, LFO rates, and other time-based effects.

Beat Indicator: The pulsing circle visualizes the current tempo, helping you feel the beat.

Tip: For delay and reverb settings, quarter note (beat) duration is most commonly used. Eighth notes work great for faster rhythmic effects!
