133 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 133 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 451.128 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 1.805 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.
133 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 133 BPM lasts about 451.13 ms (60,000 divided by 133), an eighth note about 225.56 ms and a dotted eighth about 338.35 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 125 BPM, with 480 ms per beat.
- A beat is 19,894.737 samples at 44.1 kHz and 21,654.135 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 7.218 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 99.75 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 133 to 134 BPM shortens each beat by 3.367 ms, about 0.75% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 2.217 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.5542 Hz.
