76 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 76 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 789.474 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 3.158 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.
76 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 76 BPM lasts about 789.47 ms (60,000 divided by 76), an eighth note about 394.74 ms and a dotted eighth about 592.11 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 75 BPM, with 800 ms per beat.
- A beat is 34,815.789 samples at 44.1 kHz and 37,894.737 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 12.632 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 57 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 76 to 77 BPM shortens each beat by 10.253 ms, about 1.3% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.267 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.3167 Hz.
