Tap Tempo is currently the most professional way to achieve the speed you require, and is the equivalent of 1….2….1.2.3.4 in, that professional musicians and bands use.
Enjoy whatever you play.

Well,the computer apparently DID know what it was supposed to know,about ten years ago I'd say.
On the back cover of "Keyboard"(Cover date March 1997-Harry Connick Jr.)is an ad for MOTU's "Free Style 2.0" that featured something called "Sense Tempo" that did basically what I was suggesting.
Now if THAT was possible 10 years ago,I am sure it's possible NOW.
