What this is for
Most delay, reverb, and tremolo plugins ask for a time in milliseconds. This converts any BPM into the exact ms value for any note length.
Use it when your plugin doesn't have a "sync to host" toggle.
Reading the table
- Normal — straight rhythm.
- Dotted — 1.5× the normal value. Syncopated, leaning feel.
- Triplet — 2/3 the normal value. Polyrhythmic and lively.
The math
ms per beat = 60,000 ÷ BPM
At 128 BPM: 60,000 ÷ 128 = 468.75 ms per quarter note.
