Frequently Asked Questions

Tempo range, tap tempo, time signatures, and what it costs.

Is the Acousterr metronome free?
Yes — the metronome is free, needs no account and installs nothing. Open the page and press play.
What tempo range does it cover?
Anything from 40 to 240 BPM. You can drag the slider, type a number, step it one beat at a time with the plus and minus buttons, or jump to one of the presets at 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 BPM.
Can I tap the tempo instead of setting a number?
Yes. Tap the tempo button in time with the music and the metronome averages the gaps between your taps to work out the BPM. Leaving a gap of more than two seconds starts a fresh measurement, so you can simply tap again to re-measure.
Which time signatures can it play?
3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/4. The first beat of each bar is accented and flashes, so you can hear and see where the bar starts rather than counting an undifferentiated pulse.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — it runs in the browser on phones and tablets as well as on desktop. Because the audio is generated by the browser, the first press may take a moment to start the sound engine; after that the beat is scheduled ahead of time so it stays steady.
What is the Italian tempo marking under the dial?
It is the traditional name for the speed you have set — Largo, Adagio, Andante, Moderato, Allegro, Presto or Prestissimo. It updates as you change the BPM, which is a quick way to connect a marking written on a piece of sheet music to an actual tempo.
