Frequently asked questions
How do I convert BPM to milliseconds?
Divide 60,000 by the BPM to get the length of a quarter note: at 120 BPM, each beat lasts 500 ms. An eighth note is half that (250 ms) and a half note is double (1,000 ms).
What are dotted and triplet notes?
A dotted note lasts 1.5 times the straight note, and a triplet lasts 2/3. Dotted delays, like the dotted eighth, create the rhythmic echo used so much on guitars.
What is the Hz value for?
LFO effects like tremolo, vibrato and auto-pan ask for the frequency in hertz. Hz = 1,000 ÷ milliseconds.
