Delay & reverb times at 70 BPM
At 70 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 857.14 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 428.57 ms and a sixteenth is 214.29 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 70 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 642.86 ms at 70 BPM (1.5× the 428.57 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
70 BPM in context
Seventy BPM is heavy and unhurried — the pocket of slow soul, sensual R&B and half-time trap, where the hi-hats skitter while the snare lands on beat 3. Just above a resting heartbeat, it feels deliberate without dragging. Practise against it in the 70 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
