Delay & reverb times at 100 BPM

At 100 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 600 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 300 ms and a sixteenth is 150 ms. Dial any of these into your delay or set a tempo-synced reverb's pre-delay to the sixteenth and its tail to fade around a beat or two. The full chart above covers every note value.

The dotted-eighth delay at 100 BPM

The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 450 ms at 100 BPM (1.5× the 300 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.

100 BPM in context

One hundred BPM is a round, friendly mid-tempo — common in pop, mid-tempo rock and dancehall. The maths is clean (a beat is 600 ms), which makes it a great reference tempo for learning and for setting tempo-synced effects. Practise against it in the 100 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
