Timing is scheduled on the Web Audio clock, so the beat stays steady even while the page is busy. Tap the tempo button in time with a song to set the BPM by ear.
90 BPM sits just above Andante, in the Andantino range, a moderate tempo that feels a little more forward-moving than a plain walking pace without yet reaching Moderato.
Where 90 BPM fits
90 BPM works well for mid-tempo grooves, reggae and dub tracks, and pieces that need momentum without feeling rushed. It is also a common target tempo for exercises that started slower at 60 or 70 BPM, giving a clear next step up.
As with any practice tempo, use the metronome's accent on beat one to keep your sense of the bar clear, especially in compound or less familiar time signatures.
