How to use this calculator
Find tempo-synced delay times for common straight, dotted, and triplet note values.
How the calculation works
- Enter the song tempo.
- Use the timing table to pick a note value.
- Set your delay plugin or hardware to the matching milliseconds.
Formula
Delay time ms = 60000 / BPM x note beats.
Example
At 100 BPM, a quarter-note delay is 600 ms.
Understanding your result
Use the output as a practical starting point, then review it before using it in an important workflow.
Assumptions and limitations
- The right setting depends on arrangement and taste.
- Some plugins sync automatically; this tool is useful when manual milliseconds are needed.
