89 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 89 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 674.157 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.697 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.
89 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 89 BPM lasts about 674.16 ms (60,000 divided by 89), an eighth note about 337.08 ms and a dotted eighth about 505.62 ms.
- A beat here is not a whole number of milliseconds. The nearest tempo where it is: 96 BPM, with 625 ms per beat.
- A beat is 29,730.337 samples at 44.1 kHz and 32,359.551 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 10.787 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 66.75 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 89 to 90 BPM shortens each beat by 7.491 ms, about 1.11% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.483 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.3708 Hz.
