BPM
Note Value Normal (ms) Dotted (ms) Triplet (ms) Normal (Hz)

How to use with a delay pedal:

  • Find your song's BPM, enter it above, and read off the ms value for your target note division
  • Quarter note syncs to the beat — most common starting point
  • Dotted eighth (e.g. 187 ms at 120 BPM) is the classic U2 / The Edge slap-back feel
  • Triplet eighth creates a shuffle/swing feel against a straight beat
  • Click any value to copy it — then paste directly into a digital pedal or DAW
