delay - how to set up te tempo?

[MasterOfPuppies]

hi

years ago i read that there is a little calculation to set up te tempo of a delay unit in order to sound perfet to the BPMs of a certain song

it was like an equation..

can anybody help me? ;)

thanx

Well BPM is beats per minute, and delay will be in milliseconds. So go from there, it ain't rocket science

mmmm ok it's a point of beginning ;)

[andrei]

1 BPM = 1 beats/minute = 1 beat / 60 seconds = 1 beat / 60000 miliseconds

does this help? you should be able to get all the info you need from this.

edit: i'm no expert in effects, so i can't go into details; i've just explained what 1bps relatede to ms means.

ive wondered this too, but my amp with built-in delay only has a knob to adjust the speed. So its all guess work for me.
