60,000 ÷ BPM = one beat in milliseconds

At 120 BPM, a quarter note lasts 500 ms. Every timing in the grid starts with that beat and scales it into musically related note values.

Delay & echo

Set repeats to straight, dotted, or triplet intervals that reinforce the groove.

Dynamics

Time compressor attack and release so movement breathes with the track.

Reverb & modulation

Choose pre-delay, decay, chorus, and tremolo timings with a musical relationship.

Common BPM timing questions

How do you convert BPM to milliseconds?

Divide 60,000 by the BPM to get one quarter-note duration in milliseconds. Multiply or divide that value for other note lengths.

How many milliseconds is 120 BPM?

At 120 BPM, a quarter note is 500 ms, an eighth note is 250 ms, and a sixteenth note is 125 ms.

What is a dotted note delay?

A dotted note lasts one and a half times the straight note value. A dotted eighth at 120 BPM is 375 ms.

What is a triplet delay?

A triplet note lasts two thirds of the corresponding straight note. Three eighth-note triplets fit into one quarter-note beat.

Why sync delay time to BPM?

Tempo-synced delay repeats reinforce the groove instead of drifting against the beat.

Can I use decimal BPM values?

Yes. This calculator accepts fractional tempos from 20 through 400 BPM.

How does Tap Tempo work?

Open the Tap Tempo page and tap at least twice. It averages the intervals between your most recent eight taps. A pause longer than two seconds starts a new sequence while keeping the last result available. Reset clears the measurement. Choose Use this BPM to send a result to the timing calculator.

Does this calculator assume a quarter-note beat?

Yes. BPM is interpreted as quarter-note beats per minute. If a score gives a different beat unit, convert that tempo to quarter-note BPM first.
