500BPM
That's 2.9× as fast as drum and bass — nothing on our list beats it. One beat lasts 120 ms, the delay time to dial in.
Convert the other way: BPM to ms/beat
What it means
How fast is that?
Note lengths assume 4/4 time: a bar is four beats.
The math
How to convert ms/beat to BPM
Tempo and note length are inverses: ms per beat = 60,000 ÷ BPM. An eighth note is half that, a sixteenth a quarter.
Example: 120 ms/beat = 500 BPM.
