Audio delay calculator

Give the tempo and the time signature

Express the length of the delay as fractions of the beat

Beats/minute → msecs/beat

  • Beats-per-minute: 90 BPM
  • Beats-per-second: 1.5 Hz
  • Length of 1 beat: 0.6667 second = 666.7 msec
  • Length of 1 bar (4 beats): 2.6667 second

    • Fraction → msecs

  • Delay = 1 / 12 of a beat
  • = Triplet note
  • = 55.6 msecs

    • Repeated delays

  • delay syncs with the beat after 12 repetitions = 1 beats
  • x 2 = 111 msecs
  • x 3 = 167 msecs
  • x 4 = 222 msecs
  • x 5 = 278 msecs
  • x 6 = 333 msecs
  • x 7 = 389 msecs
  • x 8 = 444 msecs
  • x 9 = 500 msecs
  • x 10 = 556 msecs
  • x 11 = 611 msecs
  • x 12 = 667 msecs

    How to use this page

  • If you have a 135 BPM song and you want a phase modulation of 4 beats: that is 1777.6 sec
  • If you have a 128 BPM song and you want an audio delay of 2/3 of a beat: this is 312.5 ms
