liveBPM - Beat Detector
LiveBPM listens through a microphone and plots an estimated musical tempo over time.
Choose it for reviewing tempo drift during practice
A continuous curve lets a performer see a change without playing to an imposed metronome click.
Keep in mind: The claimed precision is conditional on a stable tempo and clear beat impulses; ambiguous rhythm or noise can affect detection.
