Pre- Delay

[Edel]

Guys, does anyone know where i can get a pre-delay chart if one does exist.
Trying to get an accurate pre-delay settings on my reverbs so it matches with the bpm count.
Open to other suggestions if a chart is not available..

Theres a simple calculation to use, when dealing with delays and pre-delays as long as the results youre looking for are in ms.
the idea is that there is 1000 ms in a second, and thus 60,000 ms in a min.
so if you take

60,000/bpm = 1/4 note in ms
(this equation will always give you the 1/4 note values)

then you can divide down to get 1/8ths, 1/16ths, etc
or multiply to get 1/2 notes, whole notes, etc

Heya Ram, so this is similar to the delay chart yes?
Thanks

Yes it works the same way.

Oh and I never actually use 60,000 when I calculate.
That's the standard formula that you'll see most places
but I just do 60/bpm. That gives you the figure in seconds
not milliseconds but saves time in typing the extra 0's.

So for instance 60/125bpm = 0.48 seconds or in other words
480 milliseconds.
