# BPM tapper
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/bpm-tapper

A free tool at tools.aden.space/tap (also tap.aden.space). Tap along to a song and a click starts on your beat and keeps playing at that tempo, so you hear whether it's right. Start a track on Aden at that tempo.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Find a song's tempo by tapping along. Open `tools.aden.space/tap` (or
`tap.aden.space`), or search "tap" in ⌘K. No account needed, and nothing
leaves your browser.

## Using it [#using-it]

* **Tap** the pad on every beat, or press the space bar or any key. From the
  second tap the BPM shows and a click starts on your beat.
* **Keep tapping** to steady it: each tap pulls the click back onto your hand.
  A pause of two seconds starts a new count.
* **Nudge** the tempo with minus and plus, or the arrow keys. Escape stops the
  click, the play button starts it again.
* **Type** a tempo in the field under the pad and press Enter: the click
  starts at that BPM.
* Four dots count the bar from your first tap.
* **New track at 128 BPM** opens Aden in a new tab on a new track with that
  tempo filled in. Without an account you sign up first and land on the same
  form.
