Tap tempo — and delay times
Find any song's tempo by tapping along, then get delay times that lock to it — straight, dotted and triplet.
Tap along to a song (or press T). It averages your last 8 taps; pause 2 seconds to start over.

Reverb & time
Pre-delay and decay times that breathe with the beat, plus how long any number of bars lasts.
Why time your reverb
Pre-delay holds the reverb back for a moment so the dry hit stays clear in front. Then set decay so the tail dies away before the next important hit — the space breathes with the beat instead of smearing it. Shorter for busy, fast parts; longer for pads and sparse moments.
Bars → time
Tempo → pitch — for sampling
For flipping samples: how far the pitch moves when you change a sample's speed.
Speed a sample up or slow it down without warping and the pitch moves with it — like a record. This tells you how far, so you can stay in key (or know which key you've landed in).
Or: shift by semitones → new tempo
In Ableton
Turn Warp off on the clip and Ableton plays it at its own speed. Instead, set the clip's Transpose to the semitone value above with Warp in Re-Pitch mode — tempo and pitch move together, the classic sampled sound.
