106 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 106 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 566.038 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.264 seconds. Below are the delay times for every note value, the same notes in Hz, bar and phrase lengths, samples per beat and the genres that typically sit at this tempo.
106 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 106 BPM lasts about 566.04 ms (60,000 divided by 106), an eighth note about 283.02 ms and a dotted eighth about 424.53 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 100 BPM, with 600 ms per beat.
- A beat is 24,962.264 samples at 44.1 kHz and 27,169.811 samples at 48 kHz, neither a whole number, so sample accurate loop points round slightly at both rates.
- A 4 bar phrase in 4/4 takes about 9.057 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 79.5 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 106 to 107 BPM shortens each beat by 5.29 ms, about 0.93% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.767 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.4417 Hz.
