BPM to millisecond conversion chart?

Guest
I have an Eventide H3000, and not all the delays, reverb tails, sweeps etc.. are syncable to MIDI clock. (Why some and not others Eventide?)

Anyway, I was wondering if there is some sort of key/cheat sheet that shows BPM divisions in milliseconds for all of the different note divisions (quarter, eighth, dotted eighth etc...) Does anybody know of one? Thanks.
 
It's 60 / BPM * 1000.

[Edit: and of course an optional multplier for the desired note value :) ... Using this for a while, the values just stick to your head.]

Or I might as well just...

for bpm in range(75,175):
print "BPM:", bpm
print "Whole:", round(60.0 / bpm * 4000,1),
"Half:", round(60.0 / bpm * 2000,1)
print "Quarter:", round(60.0 / bpm * 1000,1) ,
"Eighth:", round(60.0 / bpm * 500,1)
print "Sixteenth:", round(60.0 / bpm * 250,1)
print "---------"

what, no triplets?

75
dotted quarter = 600 ms
16th note triplet = 133 ms

aww eff this. i just finished this stuff in my math exam, i'm on break. :monkey:

I see you're into Python.
 
I know this thread is old, but for anyone who may be searching...

Here is an article on how to convert BPM to MS

I've also made a delay time calculator that converts BPM to MS, including dotted and triplets. It can be used for to convert BPM to MS for whatever need, such as timing drum samples.

HTH,
Nick
