Pocket Tempo

Tap in the real tempo. Delay, reverb, LFO, and dynamics sync instantly — even in 6/8 and other meters most calculators miss.

Tap it in. Trust every number.

Most tempo calculators make you already know the BPM. Pocket Tempo doesn't — tap in time with the real performance (kick, snare, whatever sound is steady) and it locks onto the actual spacing between your taps, telling you if they were steady enough to trust. Reads it as the wrong note value? One tap fixes it — no re-tapping.

Already know the tempo? Type it in instead.

One anchor gets you every tempo-synced time value — delay, reverb, LFO, and compressor times, all derived from one honest anchor. Studio or stage.
