Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the BPM tempo converter calculate?
Enter a BPM value and it instantly converts it to beat time, Hz, and music delay times.
What do the delay times assume?
Delay times assume a quarter note equals one beat in 4/4 time.
What is the difference between beat time and Hz?
Beat time is how long one beat lasts, shown in milliseconds. Hz is beats per second — so 120 BPM means a 500 ms beat at 2 Hz.
How do I use the delay times in my music software?
Set your echo or delay effect to the shown milliseconds for a quarter-note delay, since the times assume 4/4 with one beat per quarter note.
