Find a tempo by tapping or entering a BPM, then use the same tempo for delay, reverb pre-delay, LFO, tremolo, and bar-length results.
Free online tap tempo and delay time calculator
Tap the tempo or enter a BPM manually. The calculator converts that tempo into milliseconds for common note values and keeps every result synchronized.
Useful for pedals, plug-ins, and live sound
Use the results when you set guitar delay, vocal delay, stereo delay, reverb pre-delay, tremolo, auto-pan, or loop lengths.
How do I convert BPM to milliseconds?
A quarter-note delay is 60,000 divided by the tempo. At 120 BPM, one quarter note is 500 ms.
What is a dotted eighth delay?
A dotted eighth delay is three quarters of a beat. It is often used for rhythmic guitar, synth, and tempo-synced echo patterns.
