Amapiano BPM

How fast, and who says so

Where the two sources overlap: 110–115 BPM. Each in its own words:

• Splice, What is amapiano music? (2025): 110–115 BPM
• Roland, Production Hacks: Creating Amapiano Tracks (2023): 108–115 BPM

The groove on this page

Amapiano is slow house with the bass replaced by the log drum, a pitched, woody hit that Roland's guide calls the 808 of the genre: it plays the bass line in syncopated notes against a plain four-on-the-floor kick. Shakers run in constant 16ths, an open hat sits on the offbeats, and the space above is left for piano and chords. Both sources keep it between about 110 and 115.

On this page: the app's Soft kit at 113 BPM, swing 56 %, with the Log drum bass sound.

Delay and LFO values

A delay in time with the track repeats once per note value: a quarter note lasts 60,000 divided by the BPM, in milliseconds. Dotted is one and a half times that, triplet two thirds. An LFO synced to a note value cycles at 1,000 divided by those milliseconds, in Hz. The table follows the tempo above: − and + move it, and so does a tempo you tap.

Then make something of it

The door opens Brumm, a club track with a beat and a bass, with this groove's low end in it. The app runs between 90 and 150 BPM, so a faster or slower tempo goes in at half or double. No account, no upload: it travels inside the link. Hum a line over it, and it becomes an instrument.

Nothing is recorded: no microphone, only your taps, counted in the browser. The groove's sounds are the app's own samples, fetched when you tap Play. How the site counts visits.
