Type a value in BPM to get it in ms/16th instantly.
125ms/16th
That's 1.33× as fast as hip hop, while house music is 1.07× faster. One beat lasts 500 ms, the delay time to dial in.
What it means
How fast is that?
Note lengths assume 4/4 time: a bar is four beats.
The math
How to convert BPM to ms/16th
Tempo and note length are inverses: ms per beat = 60,000 ÷ BPM. An eighth note is half that, a sixteenth a quarter.
Example: 120 BPM = 125 ms/16th.
