93 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 93 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 645.161 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.581 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.
93 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 93 BPM lasts about 645.16 ms (60,000 divided by 93), an eighth note about 322.58 ms and a dotted eighth about 483.87 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 28,451.613 samples at 44.1 kHz and 30,967.742 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 10.323 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 69.75 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 93 to 94 BPM shortens each beat by 6.863 ms, about 1.06% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at 1.55 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at 0.3875 Hz.
