Metric Modulation Calculator

This utility calculates a metric modulation based on a supplied starting and ending tempo. This is intended to help find a metric modulation between two arbitrary tempos, which can be helpful for conductors and performers when navigating tempo changes. By default, this will display the simples whole-number ratio corresponding to your tempo change. If you would like to force a particular subdivision of the beat, select it with the Preferred Subdivision selector.
