## How it works

Beat time (ms) = 60,000 / BPM; subdivisions scale the beat (eighth = half, dotted eighth = 0.75, sixteenth = quarter, triplet eighth = one third).

## Worked example

At 120 BPM: quarter note 500 ms, eighth 250 ms, dotted eighth 375 ms, sixteenth 125 ms, triplet eighth 167 ms, one bar 2,000 ms.
