BPM: Drum&Bass

Give tempo and time signature

BPM parameters

  • Beats-per-minute: 175 BPM
  • Beats-per-second: 2.9167 Hz
  • Length of 1 beat: 0.3429 second = 343 msec
  • Length of 1 bar (4 beats): 1.3714 second

    • Loop & song length

    These are the lengths of multiple beats (handy for calculating loop lengths, LFO)
    1 beat =343ms =2.94Hz
    2 beats =686ms =1.45Hz
    3 beats =1.03sec =0.97Hz
    4 beats =1.37sec =0.73Hz
    6 beats =2.06sec =0.49Hz
    7 beats =2.4sec =0.42Hz
    8 beats =2.74sec =0.36Hz
    10 beats =3.43sec =0.29Hz
    12 beats =4.11sec =0.24Hz
    16 beats =5.49sec =0.18Hz
    24 beats =8.23sec =0.12Hz
    32 beats =10.97sec =0.09Hz
    These are the lengths of multiple bars/measures (handy for estimating the length of a song).
    2 bars =2.7 sec
    4 bars =5.5 sec
    8 bars =11 sec
    16 bars =21.9 sec
    24 bars =32.9 sec
    32 bars =43.9 sec
    40 bars =54.9 sec
    48 bars =65.8 sec
    60 bars =82.3 sec
    80 bars =109.7 sec
    100 bars =137.1 sec
    120 bars =164.6 sec

    Fractions → millisecs

    These are some common fractions (handy for setting delays and modulation parameters)
