150 BPM in milliseconds
One beat at 150 BPM is 400.00 ms (60,000 ÷ 150). Below are the delay times for every note value, reverb settings that fit the groove and loop lengths in samples.
Delay times at 150 BPM
| Note | Straight (ms) | Dotted (ms) | Triplet (ms) | LFO (Hz) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 — Whole note | 1600.0 | 2400.0 | 1066.7 | 0.63 |
| 1/2 — Half note | 800.0 | 1200.0 | 533.3 | 1.25 |
| 1/4 — Quarter note | 400.0 | 600.0 | 266.7 | 2.50 |
| 1/8 — Eighth note | 200.0 | 300.0 | 133.3 | 5.00 |
| 1/16 — Sixteenth note | 100.0 | 150.0 | 66.7 | 10.00 |
| 1/32 — Thirty-second note | 50.0 | 75.0 | 33.3 | 20.00 |
| 1/64 — Sixty-fourth note | 25.0 | 37.5 | 16.7 | 40.00 |
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) | 25.0 ms |
| Short decay (half bar) | 0.78 s |
| Medium decay (1 bar) | 1.58 s |
| Long decay (2 bars) | 3.18 s |

Where 150 BPM shows up
150 BPM is in the typical range of techno, trap, hardstyle. At half time (75 BPM) it matches lo-fi hip-hop. The same delay settings work at 75 and 300 BPM by moving one note value: a quarter note here is an eighth at 300 BPM.
