114 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 114 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 526.316 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.105 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.
114 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 114 BPM lasts about 526.32 ms (60,000 divided by 114), an eighth note about 263.16 ms and a dotted eighth about 394.74 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 23,210.526 samples at 44.1 kHz and 25,263.158 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 8.421 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 85.5 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 114 to 115 BPM shortens each beat by 4.577 ms, about 0.87% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at 1.9 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at 0.475 Hz.
