Set delay and reverb timing from the BPM you already know. Delay & Reverb Pro keeps calculations, songs, and a stage workflow together in one focused utility for musicians, producers, and audio engineers. Delay timing - Enter 20–300 BPM manually or use Tap BPM. - Tap BPM averages the latest four accepted taps and ignores intervals under 100 ms. - View half-note, quarter-note, eighth-note, and sixteenth-note values in normal, dotted, and triplet feels. - Switch the timing table between milliseconds and hertz. Reverb starting points - Compare musical timing suggestions for Room, Plate, Hall, and Cathedral. - See total time, pre-delay, and decay separately. - Build reusable custom reverb timing presets. Reverb values are musical starting points based on BPM. They are not acoustic measurements and do not measure RT60, SPL, or a room. Organize one setlist Save songs with BPM, notes, and linked reverb presets. Reorder the setlist, duplicate songs or presets when you need a variation, and move through the show with large Previous and Next controls. Stage Mode keeps the screen awake only while it is active. Keep a local backup Export your songs and presets as one backup file, then restore that file when needed. There is no proprietary cloud sync. Focused and ad-free Core calculations, taps, songs, settings, and presets work locally. Tap BPM is manual: the app does not listen to your microphone, play music, process audio, or control external equipment. Purchase, restore, review, legal links, and user-initiated sharing may require the store, system, browser, or a network connection. The app has no ads for anyone. The core calculator remains available without a subscription. Pro Lifetime is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks saved songs, custom presets, the single setlist, Stage Mode, and backup tools. A three-day local trial starts when you first use a Pro feature.
