100 BPM in milliseconds
One beat at 100 BPM is 600.00 ms (60,000 ÷ 100). Below are the delay times for every note value, reverb settings that fit the groove and loop lengths in samples.
Delay times at 100 BPM
| Note | Straight (ms) | Dotted (ms) | Triplet (ms) | LFO (Hz) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 — Whole note | 2400.0 | 3600.0 | 1600.0 | 0.42 |
| 1/2 — Half note | 1200.0 | 1800.0 | 800.0 | 0.83 |
| 1/4 — Quarter note | 600.0 | 900.0 | 400.0 | 1.67 |
| 1/8 — Eighth note | 300.0 | 450.0 | 200.0 | 3.33 |
| 1/16 — Sixteenth note | 150.0 | 225.0 | 100.0 | 6.67 |
| 1/32 — Thirty-second note | 75.0 | 112.5 | 50.0 | 13.33 |
| 1/64 — Sixty-fourth note | 37.5 | 56.3 | 25.0 | 26.67 |
Reverb pre-delay and decay
A 1/64-note pre-delay keeps the dry attack clear; decay times are set so pre-delay plus tail equals a musical length.
| Setting | Time |
|---|---|
| Pre-delay (1/64 note) | 37.5 ms |
| Short decay (half bar) | 1.16 s |
| Medium decay (1 bar) | 2.36 s |
| Long decay (2 bars) | 4.76 s |

Where 100 BPM shows up
100 BPM is in the typical range of hip-hop, reggaeton, pop, afrobeats, dancehall. The same delay settings work at 50 and 200 BPM by moving one note value: a quarter note here is an eighth at 200 BPM.
