82 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 82 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 731.707 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.927 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.
82 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 82 BPM lasts about 731.71 ms (60,000 divided by 82), an eighth note about 365.85 ms and a dotted eighth about 548.78 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 80 BPM, with 750 ms per beat.
- A beat is 32,268.293 samples at 44.1 kHz and 35,121.951 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 11.707 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 61.5 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 82 to 83 BPM shortens each beat by 8.816 ms, about 1.2% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.367 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.3417 Hz.
