Convert any tempo into the exact delay times you need for tempo synced echoes and modulation. Enter your track speed in beats per minute and this tool works out the millisecond value of every common note division, from a whole note down to a sixteenth, including dotted and triplet variants. The math is simple but easy to get wrong by hand: a quarter note delay equals sixty thousand divided by the tempo, and every other value scales from there. Dotted notes are one and a half times longer, triplets are two thirds as long. Producers use these numbers to set delay plugins, LFO rates and pre delay on reverbs so effects lock to the groove instead of smearing across the beat. Each row also shows the matching frequency in Hz for setting LFOs by rate.
It computes the length of a quarter note as 60000 divided by the BPM in milliseconds, then scales that for every note value from whole to sixteenth.
The Hz value is the rate of the delay repeats, which is useful when setting an LFO or modulation to the same tempo.
It provides delay times across the common note values so you can pick straight subdivisions for a tempo synced echo.
