PhatBeat
PhatBeat aims to be a simple, attractive, cross-platform beat
counter for use by collectors, producers, DJs, and others
interested in beat-oriented music. For now it requires users to
tap in the beat during listening, after which it calculates and
displays the track's BPM and the size of a measure in seconds.
USAGE
There are no command-line options. The basic usage of both programs is to
tap in a beat as one is listening to it, and then have the BPM reported back.
Hotkeys in the graphical version of the program are [A] to give an all-clear
and [Q] to quit the program. All other keys register as a beat tap. In the
command-line version, only [ENTER] may be used to tap the beat, and the program
ends after each BPM report. The programs are hopefully simple enough
to use without more explanation.
