BPM: Dubstep

Give tempo and time signature

BPM parameters

  • Beats-per-minute: 140 BPM
  • Beats-per-second: 2.3333 Hz
  • Length of 1 beat: 0.4286 second = 429 msec
  • Length of 1 bar (4 beats): 1.7143 second

    • Loop & song length

    These are the lengths of multiple beats (handy for calculating loop lengths, LFO)
    1 beat =429ms =2.33Hz
    2 beats =857ms =1.16Hz
    3 beats =1.29sec =0.78Hz
    4 beats =1.71sec =0.58Hz
    6 beats =2.57sec =0.39Hz
    7 beats =3sec =0.33Hz
    8 beats =3.43sec =0.29Hz
    10 beats =4.29sec =0.23Hz
    12 beats =5.14sec =0.19Hz
    16 beats =6.86sec =0.15Hz
    24 beats =10.29sec =0.1Hz
    32 beats =13.71sec =0.07Hz
    These are the lengths of multiple bars/measures (handy for estimating the length of a song).
    2 bars =3.4 sec
    4 bars =6.9 sec
    8 bars =13.7 sec
    16 bars =27.4 sec
    24 bars =41.1 sec
    32 bars =54.9 sec
    40 bars =68.6 sec
    48 bars =82.3 sec
    60 bars =102.9 sec
    80 bars =137.1 sec
    100 bars =171.4 sec
    120 bars =205.7 sec
