115 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 115 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 521.739 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.087 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.
115 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 115 BPM lasts about 521.74 ms (60,000 divided by 115), an eighth note about 260.87 ms and a dotted eighth about 391.3 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 23,008.696 samples at 44.1 kHz and 25,043.478 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 8.348 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 86.25 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 115 to 116 BPM shortens each beat by 4.498 ms, about 0.86% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.917 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.4792 Hz.
