136 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 136 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 441.176 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 1.765 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.
136 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 136 BPM lasts about 441.18 ms (60,000 divided by 136), an eighth note about 220.59 ms and a dotted eighth about 330.88 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 19,455.882 samples at 44.1 kHz and 21,176.471 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 7.059 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 102 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 136 to 137 BPM shortens each beat by 3.22 ms, about 0.73% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 2.267 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.5667 Hz.
