80 BPM in milliseconds
One beat at 80 BPM is 750.00 ms (60,000 ÷ 80). Below are the delay times for every note value, reverb settings that fit the groove and loop lengths in samples.
Delay times at 80 BPM
| Note | Straight (ms) | Dotted (ms) | Triplet (ms) | LFO (Hz) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 — Whole note | 3000.0 | 4500.0 | 2000.0 | 0.33 |
| 1/2 — Half note | 1500.0 | 2250.0 | 1000.0 | 0.67 |
| 1/4 — Quarter note | 750.0 | 1125.0 | 500.0 | 1.33 |
| 1/8 — Eighth note | 375.0 | 562.5 | 250.0 | 2.67 |
| 1/16 — Sixteenth note | 187.5 | 281.3 | 125.0 | 5.33 |
| 1/32 — Thirty-second note | 93.8 | 140.6 | 62.5 | 10.67 |
| 1/64 — Sixty-fourth note | 46.9 | 70.3 | 31.3 | 21.33 |
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) | 46.9 ms |
| Short decay (half bar) | 1.45 s |
| Medium decay (1 bar) | 2.95 s |
| Long decay (2 bars) | 5.95 s |

Where 80 BPM shows up
80 BPM is in the typical range of hip-hop, lo-fi hip-hop. At double time (160 BPM) it matches drum & bass, jungle, trap, hardstyle. The same delay settings work at 40 and 160 BPM by moving one note value: a quarter note here is an eighth at 160 BPM.
