BPM → Note Delay Calculator
Convert tempo in BPM to note durations in milliseconds — useful for delays, reverbs and sequencing.
How to Use the BPM → Note Delay Calculator
- Enter the tempo in BPM.
- Click Calculate to see durations for whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, dotted and triplet notes.
Casi d'Uso
- •Setting delay/reverb times in a DAW.
- •Programming drum machines and sequencers.
- •Practising tempo subdivisions.
Formula
One quarter note = 60000 / BPM ms. Whole = 4× quarter, eighth = ½×, sixteenth = ¼×, dotted = 1.5×, triplet = 2/3×.

Why do I need this?
Syncing delay or reverb times to tempo keeps echoes in rhythm. Set your delay to the eighth-note value for classic slap; dotted eighth for U2-style ambience.
Does the BPM include swing?
No. Straight values only. For swing, apply 2/3 or 3/5 proportions manually.
Are note durations the same as delay times?
Yes — the delay time for a given note is the duration of that note at the chosen tempo.
