94 BPM in Milliseconds: Delay Times and Note Lengths
At 94 BPM one beat (a quarter note) lasts 638.298 ms and one bar of 4/4 lasts 2.553 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.
94 BPM at a glance
- One beat at 94 BPM lasts about 638.3 ms (60,000 divided by 94), an eighth note about 319.15 ms and a dotted eighth about 478.72 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 28,148.936 samples at 44.1 kHz and 30,638.298 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 10.213 seconds, and 3 minutes of music at this tempo holds 70.5 bars of 4/4.
- Going from 94 to 95 BPM shortens each beat by 6.719 ms, about 1.05% of the beat.
- An LFO synced to quarter notes runs at about 1.567 Hz; synced to whole bars of 4/4 it runs at about 0.3917 Hz.
