Delay & reverb times at 130 BPM
At 130 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 461.54 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 230.77 ms and a sixteenth is 115.38 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 130 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 346.15 ms at 130 BPM (1.5× the 230.77 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
130 BPM in context
One hundred and thirty BPM pushes a notch past the house standard — the engine of tech-house, faster techno and the lower end of trance. It is where the dancefloor stops swaying and starts driving. Practise against it in the 130 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
