Delay & reverb times at 180 BPM
At 180 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 333.33 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 166.67 ms and a sixteenth is 83.33 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 180 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 250 ms at 180 BPM (1.5× the 166.67 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
180 BPM in context
One hundred and eighty BPM sits at the top end of common tempos — fast drum & bass, thrash and hardcore punk, and double-time technical practice. Heard as half-time it is a relaxed 90, which is how many of these fast tracks actually feel. Practise against it in the 180 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
