Convert BPM into precise straight, dotted and triplet delay times for echoes, modulation and reverb pre-delay.
| Note value | Timing | Milliseconds | Frequency | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/2 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/4 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/8 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/16 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/32 | Straight | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/4. | Dotted | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/8. | Dotted | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/16. | Dotted | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/4 T | Triplet | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/8 T | Triplet | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz | |
| 1/16 T | Triplet | 0.0 ms | 0.00 Hz |
Timing delay and pre-delay to the song grid helps echoes support the groove instead of masking transients or building unnecessary mud.
Quarter-note time is calculated as 60,000 ÷ BPM; each note value applies a documented multiplier, and frequency is 1,000 ÷ milliseconds. Reference cases at 60, 120 and 240 BPM are checked after calculation changes.
The values are mathematically tempo-synced starting points. Reverb and delay settings still need to be adjusted by ear for the source, arrangement and plug-in.
