Delay & reverb times at 170 BPM
At 170 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 352.94 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 176.47 ms and a sixteenth is 88.24 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 170 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 264.71 ms at 170 BPM (1.5× the 176.47 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
170 BPM in context
One hundred and seventy BPM is a classic drum-and-bass tempo — fast breakbeats that, over a half-time bassline, feel deceptively relaxed. It is also where jungle, footwork and frantic punk live. Practise against it in the 170 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
