When to use this
You have a delay time in milliseconds — from vintage gear, a producer's note — and want to know what BPM it locks to. Or: you sampled a loop and want to find its tempo.
How to read the table
The same ms value lines up with multiple BPMs depending on which note length it represents. The table shows all of them so you can spot which matches your project tempo.
The math
BPM = (60,000 ÷ ms) × note factor
500ms as a quarter note → 120 BPM. As an eighth → 60 BPM.
