111 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 111 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 540.541 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.162 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.
111 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 111 BPM lasts about 540.54 ms (60,000 divided by 111), an eighth note about 270.27 ms and a dotted eighth about 405.41 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 120 BPM, with 500 ms per beat.
- A beat is 23,837.838 samples at 44.1 kHz and 25,945.946 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 8.649 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 83.25 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 111 to 112 BPM shortens each beat by 4.826 ms, about 0.89% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at 1.85 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at 0.4625 Hz.
