Delay & reverb times at 140 BPM
At 140 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 428.57 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 214.29 ms and a sixteenth is 107.14 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 140 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 321.43 ms at 140 BPM (1.5× the 214.29 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
140 BPM in context
One hundred and forty BPM is the home of dubstep and trap (which feels half-time, with the snare on beat 3) and a touchstone tempo for hard dance. It is brisk and urgent — great for building speed and stamina in practice. Practise against it in the 140 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
