So: 60,000 (ms) BPM duration of a quarter note Example: 60,000 140 BPM 428.57 ms per beat/quarter note. In the video, I show you ways to calculate delay values by using simple mathematics and explain how to use a BPM to delay time chart. 1 Minute 60,000 milliseconds (ms) To get the duration of a quarter note (a quarter note 1 beat) for any tempo/BPM we divide the number of milliseconds per minute by the BPM.

Well, you can either download a delay calculator, and there are loads of free ones available on the net or use a chart like this one. It is quite a simple calculation to perform but let’s say you’re not in the mood for mathematics, you simply want the delay value calculated for you on the fly.

To calculate the triplet value multiply the calculated delay value by. Delay Time Chart (BPM-Milliseconds) Delay Time Chart.

To calculate Dotted Value multiply the calculated delay value by 1.5.

Halve the 1/8 note value (or divide by 2) and you end up with the 1/16 value.

Halve the 1/4 note value (or divide by 2) and you get the 1/8 value.
