BPM to MS Calculator - Convert beats per minute to milliseconds

Calculate BPM to ms values for compressor attack and release settings, delays, offsets, or other parameters. You can also derive Hz values to use with pitch or as wavelength values in samplers, delay feedbacks or grain effects.

Calculator

BPM:  

  • ms for 1 bar =
  • ms for 1/2 note =
  • ms for 1/4 note =
  • ms for 1/8 note =
  • ms for 1/16 note =
  • ms for 1/32 note =

Triplet Calculator

  • ms for 1/4T note =
  • ms for 1/8T note =
  • ms for 1/16T note =

Why is Timing Everything?

Whether you're crafting an EDM banger or an acoustic ballad, timing is the invisible thread that weaves your track into a sonic masterpiece. Get it wrong, and you risk turning your groove into a jarring experience. But nail it, and you'll have your listeners hooked from start to finish.

The Solution: Precise Calculations

Here's where converting BPM to milliseconds comes in. This isn't just a nerdy exercise; it's the key to unlocking perfectly timed attacks, decays, sustains, and releases on your audio effects. Whether you're using Ableton, FL Studio, Pro Tools, or any other DAW, knowing the exact timing down to the millisecond can make or break your track.
