Music BPM Delay & LFO Calculator
Enter BPM to get common note delay times and LFO frequency.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter a positive BPM value.
- Choose whether to show the LFO rate in hertz or cycles per minute.
- Read the quarter, eighth, triplet, and sixteenth-note timing values.
Timing formulas
Quarter note = 60,000/BPM ms; eighth, triplet, and sixteenth values are quarter × 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. LFO frequency is BPM/60 Hz or cycles per minute when selected.
Calculator scope
This calculates timing values only. It does not process audio, set plugin parameters, or guarantee musical fit.
