Convert a tempo in BPM into delay times for whole, half, quarter and eighth notes.
Sixty seconds of milliseconds divided by BPM gives the beat duration; dividing again by the note value snaps the tempo to a musical grid. Delay pedals, DJ loops and DAW plugins all live on beat-synced time, so converting BPM to milliseconds keeps effects locked to the tempo.
BPM to Milliseconds
Delay ms = 60 x 1000 / (BPM x note divisions)
