What 60 BPM feels like

At 60 BPM the click lands once a second, the slowest tempo most players practise to. It is the home of ballads, ambient, downtempo and half-time hip-hop, and a favourite for slow, deliberate technique work where every note has room to breathe.

Common at 60 BPM

Practise in the pocket, not on a grid

The big button above opens our online metronome already set to 60 BPM. Unlike a plain click, it can groove in named human feels — swing, the Dilla pocket, behind the beat — so 60 BPM can lope or push instead of marching. Not sure of your song's tempo? Tap it out and we'll read the BPM for you.

Setting effects at 60 BPM

At 60 BPM one beat is 1000 ms. To set a tempo-synced delay or reverb, our 60 BPM delay-time chart lists every note value — normal, dotted and triplet — plus the LFO rate in Hz.
