Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Number of beats = 32

3. Time = 16

5. Tempo = 120BPM

6. Milliseconds per beat = 500ms

Did we solve your problem today?

Beats per minute (BPM) measures a song's tempo.

The math behind it

BPM = beats / time x 60. One beat lasts 60000 / BPM milliseconds.

32 beats in 16 seconds is 120 BPM (500 ms per beat).

How do I tap tempo?

Count beats over a known time and divide; more beats give a steadier estimate.
