Any math majors out there? This one\'s tricky..For me at least..
O.k. here it is...
I need to figure the math to set a delay to do triplets to a certain BPM. What equation can I use to come out w/ the perfect triplet delay. Oh and the delay needs to be slower than the beat itself that way I can get that U2 the edge sound but for drum loops etc. I can sort of get it just by tweaking the knobs, but I need it to be exact or else it lags a bit.... Trash Man Thanks you.... |

60 / BPM, x 1000 gives you the length of the beat in ms
Divide that by 3 and you get triplets. Eg. 112 BPM 60 / 112 = 0.536, x 1000 = 536 ms 536 / 3 = 179 ms Clear as mud?

All of these are simple on a basic calulator and you don't have to run any other programs. There are also charts in most of the studio related books. I know for a fact that "The Mixing Engineers Handbook" has one, and I would recommend that book regardless of the chart. Hope this helps.

Sure NineSpine, but I broke it down. I don't believe in just passing a formula on if there's a chance to explain the concept as well. Otherwise it's just another formula that's useless in any other situation.

For that U2 thing, you might find that a delay of 3 16th notes is what you want rather than 2 12th note triplets. Oh and if the track is shuffled then you have to fudge it anyway.....

Re: Any math majors out there? This one\'s tricky..For me at least..
Just in case, and because understanding is the secret behind memorizing:
What you know is the number of Beats Per Minute. What you want is to know the length of a beat so you can set your delay to any subdivisions of that length. So what you want is the number of MInutes Per Beats! Minutes Per Beat = 1 / [Beats Per Minute] Now if you want it in seconds, just multiply by 60: Seconds Per Beat = 60 / BPM Milliseconds? multiply by 1,000 ms per beat = 60,000 / BPM See? No need to be a math major or anything. Just pure logic. |

60,000/BPM = 1 quarter note 40,000/BPM = quarter note triplet 60,000/BPM * 1.5 = quarter note dotted Divide all by 2 for 1/8th notes or 4 for 16th's, etc. Rail
