Start the track in another player and listen for a steady pulse, usually the kick, snare or main rhythmic accent.
Press the large tap control or hit the spacebar in time with the music. Keep tapping through several bars.
The tapper calculates the median interval between taps and displays the estimated BPM and timing stability.
