Dubstep BPM

How fast, and who says so

Where the two sources overlap: 135–142 BPM. Each in its own words:

• Wikipedia, Dubstep: 132–142 BPM
• Orphiq, BPM Chart by Genre (2026): 135–145 BPM

The groove on this page

Dubstep is counted at 140 and felt at 70: the snare or clap lands on the third beat of the bar, not on two and four, so each bar has one big hit in its middle. Wikipedia puts it in the 132 to 142 range and notes most of it is near 140, which is why the scene called it simply 140. The kick plays once or twice a bar, the hats keep the fast count, and the bass sits in the space between.

On this page: the app's Deep kit at 140 BPM, straight 16ths, with the Sub 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.

Genres near this tempo

• Techno: 125–135 BPM
• Trance: 130–150 BPM
• Breakbeat: 110–175 BPM
• Psytrance: 138–148 BPM

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.
