1/16 note is how many ms? i guess it depends on tempo too?

how is it calculated

thanks

 

of course it depends on the tempo.

 

Are you on WinPC?

Ah! Didn't know that. It works for me (with various adblockers turned on).
Here's the direct link, that DL it directly. https://resonic.at/get/dtc

 

240000 divide the song tempo (bpm) and then the division (16,8,4)

1/16th note for tempo 120bmp = 2400000/120/16 = 125ms

forgot where I got this but kept using it for 10 years or something, I didn't even check if it is accurate or not, I kinda feel it is not but it works fine.

 

That's the same I've been doing in my crazy head all the time. Well, there's also ctl+alt+c... and I have my good old [from 1975 or so] trusty red LED calculator laying somewhere, too.

It's not essential to be decimal precise and to make it easier you can divide 4200/120/16 and get 1.25=125ms.

A normal heartbeat by many physicians is considered to be 60-100 beats per minute (bpm)
This uses the same calculations musicians use for tempos.
Therefore, roughly based on the lowest heartbeat of 60 bpm (1 beat per second) into how many each would have of their notes into bpm and milliseconds without decimal places:

• Whole note = 15bpm = 4000ms
• Half note = 30bpm = 2000ms
• Quarter note = 60bpm = 1000ms
• Eighth note = 120bpm = 500ms
• Sixteenth note = 240bpm = 250ms
• Thirty-second note = 480bpm = 125ms
• Sixty-fourth note = 960bpm = 63ms (62.5)

*NOTE: The second = bpm above indicates if the value of that note was the beat per minute count on a base of 60 beats per minute. the millisecond indicates the duration in milliseconds at a count base of 60 beats per minute (60 quarter notes per minute or 240 1/16th notes per minute)

It is easy if you remember that 1,000ms = 1 second

Musicmath is the MacOS version of the tools mentioned above, plus it has a bunch of other features too
