BPM to milliseconds calculator converts song tempo into delay and reverb times for quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and dotted notes.
A quarter note's duration in milliseconds is 60,000 (milliseconds per minute) divided by the tempo in beats per minute. Other note values are simple fractions or multiples of that quarter-note duration.

A track runs at 120 BPM — what delay time should a quarter-note echo use?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A dotted note is 1.5× the duration of its plain counterpart — a dotted quarter note is 500 ms × 1.5 = 750 ms at 120 BPM.
A triplet divides a note into three equal parts instead of two — a quarter-note triplet is (500 ms × 2) ÷ 3 ≈ 333 ms at 120 BPM.
