167 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 167 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 359.281 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 1.437 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.
167 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 167 BPM lasts about 359.28 ms (60,000 divided by 167), an eighth note about 179.64 ms and a dotted eighth about 269.46 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 160 BPM, with 375 ms per beat.
- A beat is 15,844.311 samples at 44.1 kHz and 17,245.509 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 5.749 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 125.25 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 167 to 168 BPM shortens each beat by 2.139 ms, about 0.6% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 2.783 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.6958 Hz.
